I currently have a GeForce 960, is the 960 better than a 1050 ti?

Thanks so much! I think the 1060 is the better choice for the price and it fits my budget perfectly!

1050Ti in a $1300 system is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm assuming like before, you're not interested in overclocking and I'm assuming you already have the 3 monitors you posted in the other thread.

1070Ti is pretty overkill tbh, but better value than a GTX 1070. You could get away fine with a 6GB GTX 1060 or an RX 580 though. Case is up to you, there are plenty of options now tbh. Enthoo Pro M(SE), Eclipse P400(S), Eclipse P300, Fractal Design Meshify C, Define C, Define R6, etc etc

Putting inferior RAM as well as CPU in the rig is absolutely ridiculous.

Plus i made a second post with a 6GB 1060 so your point is invalid. but feel free to keep saying my ideas are bad when clearly you aren't much better yourself

What is "inferior" about it exactly? The better timings, or lower voltage?

You're right, telling him to get a 6GB 1060 instead of the 1050Ti was a much better idea. Shame that a 6GB 1060 is still a ridiculous GPU to be in a $1300 system, never mind a $1400 system. As you can see, you can quite easily fit a GTX 1070Ti in to a system for less than $1300.

A 1070ti in a $1300 system is not ridiculous, a 1050Ti, like Saxby tried to recommend is absolutely ridiculous.

Don't change the M9i to a 212 EVO, the M9i is better. Don't spend so much on the motherboard, you're not overclocking. $80 is more than enough for a decent motherboard, any more than $100 on a motherboard for a locked CPU is just wasted money. You definitely don't need 750W, that's more than enough for 2 x 1070Ti's, but it's a good quality unit and only $10 more than the 550W variant so get it if you want. $80 is actually quite the deal for that 750W PSU, it's just seriously overkill. Also with the RAM, just wasting money for no reason really. Stick with the $160 kit, RAM is already stupidly over-priced, no reason to waste even more money on top of that.

As for the case, do not get the S340. If you like the look of the S340, get the NZXT H500. It replaced the S340 and is $70. I hate my NZXT H440 now and love Phanteks cases, so I'm still going to recommend any of the Eclipse or Enthoo line-up over the NZXT H500 tbh, but the H500 is a good upgrade from the S340.
