Rip PC gaming 1960-2018

[Jacksonpm23]

Was going to buy a 1060 for $230 in December. Now they're at $499 MINIMUM on newegg/amazon. 
Bought a 4gb 1050 ti for $169, now at $199.99 for the same model. Should have gotten that 1060 following that price bump difference but eh, I like the 1050 ti nonetheless.

I had an EVGA 1050ti as well and loved it but switched to a MSI 960 because I prefer the looks of it. 

 

I got the 1050ti for $125 (canadian) used and sold it 2 weeks later for $150 lol.

It's just ... cheap. They've always had a stigma for being low end parts. MSI has gotten better though. I will say that their motherboards are cheap. I built an 8700k tower for myself and one for my best friend. Both MSI boards were $200 And have bad RAM channels, which shouldnt happen on a $200 board. That being said I've had 4 DOA Asus Maximus boards in the past so never again for that brand either. 

I did like the MSI Stealth Pro laptop I purchased awhile back but ended up giving it to my girlfriend to game on and I went back to Alienware for a laptop. 

 

I never tried their motherboards tbh, I've bought a couple GPU's from them and been happy with them so far. I also like their laptops.
