The 1060 is very nip and tuck with a 970, so a second hand 970 for a decent price would be a good option. |

I'm also now looking at more RAM on ebay (pretty cheap, as my ancient mobo takes DDR2) and maybe (at last) an SSD because fuck spinning rust it's 2017 motherfuckers. |

I got rid off most of my old parts recently, but I think may have some suitable memory. Will check what it is. (if it's of interest you can have it for free) |

According to my notes, the stuff I have is 2x2GB PC6400 DDR2/800. My mobo is an EVGA nForce 780i SLI so it should have 4x slots, and hence 2x slots spare. (And according to its manual, it maxes out at 8 GB(!). Although that might simply be because there wasn't any RAM more sense than 2 GB modules when it was written in -- gulp -- 2007.) |

For comparison, the CEX trade-in is £80 cash and £120 credit, and they sell them for £180. £120 is definitely cheap. |

Meant to look last night (I have 2 sticks in a computer that I think is Ddr2 era, and two more spare that I think are ddr3) If I don't post anything by about 5pm, give me a prod. |

OK, good Sir. I have these definitely Ddr2 memory sticks, no idea how much memory it is, but I'd guess 4gb, maybe only 2. |

I'm not really fussed about money - they were destned to go dumpwards fairly soon anyway, so being able to help out a friend is enough for me. But if it's something that matters to you, name your price. And naturally, some way to get them to you would be useful. |

So: my GTX 970. Following RIDICULOUS SHENANIGANS because GAMING PCs, I ended up spending last weekend rebuilding the software from scratch with a clean install of Win10 onto a 64 GB SSD I had spare, plus a 2 TB drive for data. In the process I junked the 4x500GB RAID 0,1 I was using previously. And now it all works and stuff. XCOM 2 at 1920x1200 "high" setting runs great. Looking around for a system destroyer to give it a workout, I settled on the demo for Forza Horizon 3, which runs at 15-20 fps regardless of resolution (with drops into single figures.) Not enough CPU, I think. Next steps are to decide if I'm going to keep it as-is or upgrade further (definitely SSD and monitor, maybe CPU/mobo/RAM) and replace my iMac. |

Benchmarks, prices and core counts officially confirmed by AMD today for Ryzen - 52% increase in IPC and $500 chip can perform just as well as Intels $1000. Anandtech article That's pretty impressive from a company lagging behind for so long.. Anyone that's bought a 6900k in the last few months is probably kicking themselves. |

"Benchmarks" being AMD's marketing materials. I think we shouldn't book the parade until Ars/Anandtech have them in their hand. |
