[QUOTE="BigPoppa, post: 16075147, member: 177587"] The 1080 Ti cards are a great buy. The new 2080 stuff is hitting slightly bigger numbers when overclocked, but the 1080s are still a way better buy overall (FPS per $, etc.). If you want Titan RTX capability, an overclocked 2080 Ti is very close, but again, pretty much overkill. My recommends are: NVidia GEFORCE 1080 Ti FE EVGA GEFORCE 1080 Ti (preferred) Both of these cards will support AAA games for the next few years with no issues with the only bottleneck being the CPU, not the GPU. Especially since developers aren't really jumping into ray tracing just yet. It's been years since I've done an AMD build, but I'm really looking at the new Ryzen 2 CPUs. Their performance is bitch slapping Intel pretty hard. And the new 3000k coming out should be even bigger of a beast. Problem is, too many reviews are based on gaming (which is what the CPU really was designed for) and I want something that can both game and run my VMs pretty good. The Intel does VMs well. Really well. The big drawback on the Ryzen is that it requires fast memory to see best performance and memory prices are sky high right now (the feds are investigating price fixing last I heard).
