    I bought a laptop for my girlfriend to help her with her college work. Didn't want to spend too much but I thought the laptop I bought would have handled things such as browsing the web, facebook and Microsoft office with ease however this is not the case. It freezes up with simple tasks such...

    i5 4690k @ 4.4Ghz w/ gtx 1070

    Gtx 1070 pricing

    Currently all of the 1070's I can find for sale on UK websites all of the 1070's run for about £420-500, will the price be dropping below this at all and if so how much? I'm not sure if it's worth waiting for the price drop if it's not going to be significant.
