Zotac GeForce GTX 680 4GB Video Card $470AR@TigerDirect

The problem is the GTX 680 isn't for people who want an extremely low end computer, it's for people that want a top of the line single card (possibly more in SLI) - The people that want a 680 or 690 can obviously afford a system more than $400, well over $1000 unless they want bottlenecks - I don't know if you are just trying to brag about how you have a $400 gaming computer or what, but it obviously won't perform as well as one with a GTX 680 and better specs, so it's not really relevant

Agree.

I'm hoping 680 prices will drop soon, with the gtx titan pictures/info being leaked earlier today .

to be more specific:
CPU + MOBO $180 (can't share the deal, sorry)
GPU $50 TD price mistake 2011
NZXT Whisper $37, mwave "must go" deal 2010
Vertex 4 $80 BF Amazon deal (overkill SSD) 2012
XFX P1-650X-CAH9 650W $39.99 AR newegg 2010
RAM $10 AR, coupon mistake newegg 2 BF's ago I think, I have purchased a ton of ram for $0 AR also 2 years ago so nothing special really
OS free from university, but can be found on ebay for $10 as we all know
no DVD drive, because who needs it? add $20 otherwise

good luck on that Titan is geared towards GTX690 which is $1000 card.

This shit is not "any day of the week" especially if you can't even reveal a deal on 2 of the components. You can build a 'computer that can play games' for $470, but you will not build a 'gaming computer' for $470. I'm talking go out now and purchase the parts, not wait 2 years to assemble a machine, since that is not 'any day of the week'.

Again, learn how to read, then go back and read my post



I know dude, it's just heavily overpriced for the performance you get

performance/$$$ ratio is horrible

470 = retail price, you can get a gaming pc for $470 any day of the week

Yes, I read your post and I'll even quote part for you.



Your build is not an example of an any day of the week $470 gaming build. Can you hunt for deal over the course of 2 years to build a machine together? Sure.

Zotac = boo
Tiger Direct = double boo
Zotac MIR = triple boo!

No thank you.

If you are looking to drop $ for a 680 try this one for $439 after MIR.

Also comes with $150 in that in game currency BS, maybe you can sell that.

No it's not a 4gb card, but that is useless unless you are doing quad SLI anyway.

I did not thumbs down this, it's just not that great a deal IMO.

where in my post does it say that my build is a 470 any day build?

please quote without editing

You say that and then go on to list your $400 build. Your build is irrelevant anyway. Like I already said, you can build a pc that can play games for $470, bot not a gaming PC.

"A gaming computer (also gaming PC and sometimes called a gaming rig) is a personal computer that is capable of playing computationally demanding video games. Gaming computers are very similar to conventional PCs, with the main difference being the addition of performance-oriented components such as a high-end CPU and one or more video cards."

please give up... you are embarrassing yourself
