Will be at the crib Tuesday. 
 
Pre-Orded 2 MSI Geforce 1080 Gaming X last week, they are set to ship June 29th.

Any word on the MSI HB SLI Bridge?
Haven't heard about it.

But 2 1080's? Is one for resale or something? Rendering quality higher than real life with SLI

Rig is probably beastly. Im upgrading to a GTX 1070 from a Radeon HD 7870.

Could've upgraded awhile ago but I hate spending money 
 
@iYen  have you already started building your rig? I been putting it off and on for the last few years but with Xbox Anywhere it may be time to make that jump.

I planned on starting it a couple days ago, but UPS lost the power supply.

Waiting on a replacement and for the rx 480 to drop.

Tues is when I plan on assembling the parts, then pop in the gpu last.

Trying to figure out this pc stuff took like 6 weeks of research.

You could buy a really good prebuilt digital storm pc, but you'd be paying a $100-$300 premium.

I want to upgrade my gpu but I have no interest in vr so it's hard for me to justify.

I was really into it last year. I was researching it all day at work and then I just fell out of it. Do you plan on playing mostly single player games or multiplayer? I know FH3 is no brainer for you

A mixture of both, but slightly more single player games like mafia 3 and dishonored 2. 

Preordered it today. Hopefully I don't .... up the pc build, then I'll be set.

I just hope some more third parties take advantage of the xbox play anywhere feature.
 
This the card you plan on getting? Any reason in particular you want this one?
I'd rather get the sapphire rx 480, because concensus is that they're the best amd card seller.

1. It's the most affordable new video card. 

2. It'll supposedly do 1080p at max settings and 1440p at reduced settings.

3. They're trying to reduce the cost of good vr by introducing this card.

4. Pardon me, if you already know this.

There's features called free-sync(exclusive to amd video cards) and g-sync(exclusive to nvidia video cards).

Both of these features elimate screen tearing. 

If you want a basic monitor with either gsync/freesync. 

Having gsync will run you $400~ and free-sync will run your $200~.
