    Upgrade gpu or upgrade everything else

    I can only afford either an RTX 2080 or a full upgrade (minus GPU), but if I am playing at higher resolutions using DSR upscaled 4k then would it really matter if I upgrade everything else besides the GPU? Right now I am on a i5 4670k @4.4ghz 24 gb ram gtx 1070 corsair cx600 PSU and I THINK...

    Do I need an upgrade?

    So there have been many leaks regarding the 1180 (2080) releasing in the summer. Right now I'm running an i5 4670k @4.4ghz with 8 gigs of ram (ddr3) and a GTX 1070. I'm not sure if I'm being bottlenecked by a significant amount but I want to buy the 1180 ASAP before all the stupid gpu minors...

    How much can I sell my Desktop PC for a Laptop??

    So my specs are in my signature. I want the new EVGA SC17 Laptop and I am willing to sell my desktop for it. I know that retailers overprice the HELL out of their products that are pre built, so I am wondering how much I can overprice my build to some uninformed person. :D

    Why does my 1070 have 8 pin for power but MSI has 6 and 8

    Does that mean my 1070 is super limited to how much power it sucks up?!?!
