 Lots of bad news coming from nVidias direction recently.

I wouldn't usually look at nVidia news as I'm not a fan of their pricing policy (FYI They've increased launch price by $50 over the last generation for a part/wafer which is significantly cheaper to manufacture), as Robin is seriously looking at building his PC with a 1080 card though, I figured I'd better do some research.

Robin, have a good read through this, the guys at Redit tend to know what they're talking about, I like to think I know what I'm talking about on this subject but these guys baffle me at times.

Cheap parts

Take a look through the links from this redit post too.

You'd do well to ignore people on Reddit that are arguing about things that won't actually matter to you. The place is full of fanboys on both sides.... not knocking Reddit though, it's a great source of info. Just take the comments with a pinch of salt.

You did!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I might just curl up into a little ball and ignore everything!

[GT_Dave]

You did!

Forced into it, needed a new CPU after the Phenom II died and needed something that was going to last and not cause bottlenecks, i5 6500 was the only affordable (just) real option.
