...what do these “influencers” look like in 5 or 10 years?

Correct. I meant my first phone was 3 months old when it died in the pool and already had scratches on the display. My replacement phone got them just as quickly.

Oh that one is easy...

That’s a shit deal.

Mine was 550$ and it had a 128 GB SSD and a dGPU. 

Spoilers, naturally.

Absolutely- and I’d highly recommend a Surface. I love mine, although it’s a Pro 3 and so is getting on a bit now! 

That’s EXACTLY what I did.  Worked out great for me!

I’ve met many politicians. They are mostly egotistical, mean morons.

So that’s why Trump declared us a national security threat, now I clearly understand./s

Just got the 1660TI (Gaming X 6G) this week, and I was literally in the same boat as you. Had a GTX 970, and I only play in 1080p.

I’m extremely pleased with the upgrade so far. In Far Cry 5 I went from high 40s at high settings to now averaging 55-57 fps with all settings completely maxed. Division was hitching up on…

Honestly, if u want to upgrade in 2 years, I'd just ride out what you have now. 

Yeah, I was surprised that Cory didn’t make it into the article.

So much this. I still play 1080/60 and I am using a R9 280x. There are very few games I need to turn down to get 60fps at great quality.

I have the same gpu, i am waiting for next year and ddr5, pcie 4 and usb 3.2, then can do mobo, cpu, memory and gpu

I have a gtx 960 and was thinking exactly this. 

I don't think your motherboard is going to effect the performance you'll get out of your graphics card. As long as it supports PCI x16, you're good to go.

Im in the same boat. i7-4790k@4.5. ASRock z87 mono 16gb ddr3, evga gtx 970. The GPU is showing it’s age in rift titles and cod blackout.

I think it’s always a matter also of what resolution you are gaming at.  I know some folks who have a 2080 on a 60hz 1080p monitor and I understand they want to play on Ultra but a 1070 or 1660 would have got them there as well.

Can’t we just land, give that rock a big ‘ol smooch
