Graphics Cards

— This card is 2019's go to card for budget and mid-high end gaming. The price comes in as cheaper than a flagship 1060 GPU but gives out performance that is similar to a GTX 1070. This card has incredible value and could be overclocked to meet the standards of a 1070. Overall, this card is perfect for those who want to experience near high-end gaming while not breaking the bank on a graphics card.

RX 580 - Excellent 4 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— This GPU is a very popular and great choice for PC gaming during this time. It is priced competitively with the flagship NVIDIA GTX 1060, which in terms of performance, would be better than the RX 580, but the RX 580 has both 4GB models and 8GB. The 8GB model is slightly better than a GTX 1060 in most if not nearly all games. This card also has an appearance in many budget builds, due to its low price and high performance. For this age, this card is definitely strong enough to handle many new demanding titles at high settings.

GTX 980-Ti - Excellent 4 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— Excellent graphics card in its day. Compared to the standard 980, this card has provided and exceeded all expectations that of a "Ti" would provide. At the time of the launch, this card was insanely powerful, considering it was launched around 4 years ago, it compares to a modern day GTX 1070, sometimes being slightly worse or in some cases, considerably better. Given the fact how good a 1070 is today, during the time this card was considered one of the best, as that's literally what it was. Today, although being an old card, this GPU is still very powerful, and has aged very well.

— This GPU might as well be called crazy. At the time, it was a very powerful card and did its job like all other cards. The reason people still consider these cards is because it was such a groundbreaking card at launch that people thought it was just incredible. Indeed, it does perform very well, and is still a great card to buy today in the used market at a good price. As for how it would perform compared to a 1080, despite what many believe, it's not as good as a 1080. Overall an amazing card to fully wrap up the 900 series of NVIDIA cards.

Graphics Cards

— Honestly, at the moment, if you're going budget for laptop gaming, it will do its job and it will do it very well. This graphics card will run most games that you want it to run, at mostly high settings, and other games will run at max. As for around three or four years ago, this graphics card was very powerful for all types of gaming and could perform most tasks with ease. It compares with a GTX 1050Ti which during the time of this card was pretty good.

AMD
Ryzen 7 2700X - Excellent 4 years ago.
Processors

— This CPU is very powerful featuring 8 cores and 16 threads and the ability of overclocking. This CPU has the strength to just about do all your work, from everyday gaming to everyday workstation. It is priced very well for such a powerful CPU that will make such a powerful impact on your computer. To harness the full capability of this CPU, it would be most preferred to be paired with a strong GPU, resulting in no bottleneck and maximum capability. With the right build this CPU can be all a person would ever need, whether you plan to overclock it or not, or use the stock cooler or not, it will still be a very dynamic CPU.

GTX 1070 - Excellent 4 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— It's an absolutely amazing card that works well while being paired near anything that is considered mid-high tier. I can say by experience that It can run all my games at the highest settings at 100+ FPS. Only in very few games or a select few would I receive high 50 or around 60 FPS at the max settings, which goes to show that this GPU can run just about anything you throw at it. Overall I believe that this card has aged very well and is an absolutely amazing performing card. The only reason to not get this is age and better options with the new series of NVIDIA cards. As of this moment, this is just the best performing card I have dealt with in my life.

The Best.
