Figure Id add ram and either a 1080 or 1080ti card.

You guys think its worth the 1500-1600?

You can check what is the price after adding those... definitely not lower than 1600.
Build your own is highly recommended.

I don't know. It's customizable and we can't see your configuration.

I went with the EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Hybrid. Insanely cool card. They already had the FTW3 triple fan 1080Ti. They then added a cherry with the 120mm AIO liquid cooling system along with a fan dedicated to the VRMs. They applied thermal tape inside where it's needed and even in some places where it really isn't. It's an over-engineered card that I have trouble finding a downside at the moment. Do you like RGB? I'm not a big fan of it but this card has a near infinite RGB lighting system. The only one I chose to keep on for now is the G P M(GPU Power Memory) They are all blue because that's the color for cool. Should, let's say the memory chips temps. rise past a certain point it will then turn yellow. Past another marker and it turns red. At a glance I can see if there's an issue. From breathing to static or pulsing and so many other settings the card will fit any PC color scheme. It also has a connection so that it can sync with other compatible RGB components.

Sorry about that. I am not at all surprised. They are either sold out or stupidly overpriced elsewhere. Stock goes so very quick.
