AMD could release something on-par with a 2080ti for half the price and they wouldn't even manage to break 35% market share with it. That's how ingrained Nvidia is into the market.

True, but just means there is more room for growth for AMD, and more to loose for NVIDIA. Not quite as bad or as much as for Intel, which will loose much more market share this year, but growth looks likely to be decent for AMD on both graphics and CPU side. Takes some time and sustained success before things balance out and we have sane competition again.

Nah, TSMC 7nm is no miracle process (5Ghz @ that TDP?) ... but it is shaping up decently just based on density of what transistors and features they can pack in @ 7nm (15% IPC uplift seems possible). We shall see soon, 2019 should be good year for more AM4 upgrades regardless.

Yeah I'm a little skeptical. On the one hand those specs are insane but on the other adored is setting himself up for career suicide if it's wrong.

You can get a normal ssd drive 1tb for like 100 bucks. Any reason why you are choosing that one?

NVME is useless unless you know you specifically need the form factor or the increased speeds for a specific type of application. They make little to no difference when it comes to gaming.
Hit up pcpartpicker. They have an option to filter to M.2 and also sort by $:GB. Performance is something you'll need to manually research.

As someone still slumming on a 4670k, what's the best card I can get without getting massively bottlenecked? I don't want to deal with the bullshit of a new build right now and basically just want something with 2 display port connections since I have a pg278q (old model, no hdmi) and want to replace my second monitor (the korean IPS ebay scam failed on me years ago so its some POS I stole from work) with a 279q.
Google tells me 1060 6GB is about as far as I can push it and that seems fine as a stopgap until Intel stops rehashing their same cpus over and over and maybe this raytracing meme has a couple years to bake. That sound right? Or can I go a bit higher?

Nah, you would get benefit of at least a 2070/1080. I have a 4690k myself and use a 980ti. Anything better than that though would be a waste.
Well, almost all of the parts are in. Asus Thor PSU is back ordered for another few weeks. But I am tired of staring at a pile of parts so I am going to put it together with what I have and install the PSU and custom cables when it arrives. Wish me luck...

I'm an idiot and didn't notice the corsair PSU. Nevermind
And grats on the upgrade. Hope it all goes smoothly.
