XIII Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yeah the 2600 is rock solid, I want to expand it to 16gig ram but im very happy with the 1030, its cheap and very capable with esports and older titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoying that you can get an AMD Ryzen 7 for a couple of hundred quid with a benchmark score thats nearly double! Tempted to look at upgrading but cant decide whether to do Mr X jnrs PC on the cheap or spend a bit more to upgrade mine and give him my old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted to look at upgrading but cant decide whether to do Mr X jnrs PC on the cheap or spend a bit more to upgrade mine and give him my old one [emoji38]That is a dilemma, could do what I have and pick up a old office oem on the cheap with a 4th gen i5 or i7 and stick in a 1030 or 1050Ti.Or just treat yourself to a new build. Im waiting until the nvidia 20 series has been in stock for a few month's and im seriously thinking of getting a 1070Ti for my main rig. The i7 in it (6700k) is still decent and the ram is more than adequate (16gb ddr4). I dont think I'll go towards the 2070 but it'll be interesting to see if they do a 2060, and its price comparison to the 1070Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could build Mr X jnr a much better machine than he has now for half that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just don't think I'd get that much of an, increase for something that's going to cost £300 plus ETA - actually maybe I would. The benchmarks for the 1070i are quite a bit higher than my 1060. Still not sure its worth the kind of money it might cost but definitely something to look out for if the price comes down ... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
