You mean this one?? >:o

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-EVO-2-5-Inch-MZ-75E250B/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1471374028&sr=1-1&keywords=ssd

But the 480 and 290X will offer the same performance, and the 1060 is just a bit faster than a 970, so they are well used, unlike the 1080. The 1070 would have been a better choice, but it would defeat the marketing purpose.

As much as I want, SSDs for that price are still overpriced for simple storage.

I wonder how many shrinks until SSDs will kill HDDs. I mean it can't be that long now. SSDs are currently at 7-8x the price per GB.

Hmm fair enough, we'll see the benchmark after release.

Crossing my fingers for the 490. I can go as high as $350 but would rather stick to $300. I don't PC game a lot, it would be mainly for Dark Souls games and maybe a couple others. But i'd be content with 2560x1440 resolution as the widescreen is mainly for work.

At this point i'm strongly leaning for Intel. I'm positive I wont have regrets. But I really like AMD

Don't go AMD for the CPU right now. They are terrible value for money.
They are hot and have terrible performance.

The Radeon 480 8Gb is actually a fairly decent card for 1440P, sure you won't get 60fps in every game, but at an average of 40fps across most titles, it's pretty respectible and it does switch into another gear entirely once you flick the Direct X 12 switch.

I would personally want more, but if you are on a budget, it's worth considering.

Time for the news!

INKLE'S SORCERY! CONCLUDES IN SEPTEMBER WITH THE CROWN OF KINGS

http://www.pcgamer.com/inkles-sorcery-concludes-in-september-with-the-crown-of-kings/

Before Inkle made it big in Time Magazine with 80 Days, it released the first episode of Sorcery!, a narrative adventure based on the Steve Jackson gamebook of the same name. It was originally a mobile game (and a very good one), but the first two parts were ported to the PC early this year, followed by part 3 in April. And in September, the tale will be concluded in the fourth and final episode, The Crown of Kings.

HERE'S THE TITANFALL 2 MULTIPLAYER BETA TRAILER

http://www.pcgamer.com/heres-the-titanfall-2-multiplayer-beta-trailer/

The Titanfall 2 “Open Multiplayer Tech Test,” which as far as I can tell is a fancy way of saying “beta,” begins on August 19 and runs until August 21, and then comes back for a second round over the weekend of August 26-28. PC gamers won't be playing it, because we are a complicated and inquisitive species, but at least we can watch the trailer.

EA EXEC DROPS HINTS THAT A REMASTERED MASS EFFECT COULD BE ON THE WAY

http://www.pcgamer.com/ea-exec-drops-hints-that-a-remastered-mass-effect-could-be-on-the-way/

Last year, Electronic Arts VP Patrick Soderlund told Game Informer that the company was focused on developing new properties, not remastering old ones like, say, Mass Effect. But times have changed, and in a new interview from Gamescom, Soderlund strongly hinted that a Mass Effect redo is likely to happen.

>>After the original games and the launch of the Mass Effect trilogy pack, I hope that if they remaster them, the will DLC come included.

AGONY GAMEPLAY TRAILER SHOWCASES A FIRST-PERSON CRAWL THROUGH THE BOWELS OF HELL

http://www.pcgamer.com/agony-gameplay-trailer-showcases-a-first-person-crawl-through-the-bowels-of-hell/

Agony is a first-person horror game being developed by Polish studio Madmind. It was announced in May, and will see players take a tour of the depths of hell, as experienced by a tormented soul with no memory of the crimes that led to him landing in the burny basement. But you can look for clues in the debut gameplay trailer which was released today: It's eight unpleasant minutes spent in a chittering, nightmarish underworld, utterly without context or plot.

AFTER 15 YEARS, A CANCELLED GAME BOY RPG FINDS LIFE ON PC

http://www.pcgamer.com/infinity-game-boy-game-pc/

Every year, countless games are cancelled and forever go into the dark abyss known as vaporware. But every once in awhile, one claws its way back out of development hell, and into the world of the living.

That's exactly what’s happened with Infinity, an RPG for the Game Boy Color that was cancelled back in 2002 and has now resurfaced as a freely available ROM along with source code thanks to its developers. I've played an hour of it, and it's not hard to see that Infinity could've been one of the greatest RPGs on the Game Boy—making the fact that it was never published sting just a little bit more.

PANIC AT MULTIVERSE HIGH! MAY BE THE MOST RIDICULOUS VISUAL NOVEL YET

http://www.pcgamer.com/panic-at-multiverse-high-may-be-the-most-ridiculous-dating-sim-yet/

DEAD RISING 4’S PRE-ORDER DETAILS, PRICE REVEALED

http://www.pcgamer.com/dead-rising-4s-pre-order-details-price-revealed/

Yesterday, new screens and a snippet of in-game footage for Dead Rising 4 made their way out of Gamescom, and I must admit I was suitably impressed. Fast forward one day and the game’s pre-order details—including how much Capcom Vancouver’s zombie slaughter fest will cost on the Microsoft Store—have left me slightly less enamoured.

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2017 RELEASE DATE SET FOR NOVEMBER

http://www.pcgamer.com/football-manager-2017-kicks-off-in-november/

The football management sim that only ever seems to depart Steam’s top ten most played games chart when being substituted for its most recent iteration has been criticised in recent times for being unnecessarily complex. An inconsistent 3D engine, not to mention the fact saves aren’t transferable year-upon-year, are likely its biggest shortcomings, yet it’s still above and beyond the master of its genre. Today, Sports Interactive and SEGA have revealed its next annual instalment is due November 4.

How did I overread that Nier is coming to Steam?? This is probably the best news of the week!

Let's go with the news, specially about Deus Ex, of which there are three:

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases next week and its PC graphics settings have just been revealed. PC gamers will be able to tweak a respectable amount of options, though we do have to note that there is no option for PureHair (perhaps this is a DX12-only option?
