Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU Build only please

gpu prices are nuts at the minute.
For that reason Ive just made the base system good & just squeezed the best gpu I can find for the budget.

Also....for gpu.....get urself an old used GTX 980ti
Coz currently prices of gpus r skyrocketing.....even a decent 1050ti will cost u around $220-250
Currently....used 980tis r going around in the used market fr around $270-350 which is still a bargain
So go fr it
Also I m putting in an 8700k in it so that it'll be somewhat futureproof

I agree on getting a used gtx 980 or 980ti.
