Haha it probably is. And thank you. For a budget pc its starting out pretty good. Most of my money is going to go to the gpu im thinking a gtx 1080 should be good for a couple years.

If you game at 1080p, it might just be a better choice to get a GTX 1070. It also will last you several years, and when you upgrade your whole system, you can buy the latest flagship GPU at that time.

Just my .02

Yea, personally I would not spend the money for a 1080 unless I was using high resoultion (above 1080p) or VR. For 1080p, especially with an older, non-overclockable cpu I would go with a 1070 at most, or even a 480/1060. If you get a 1060 though, be sure to get the 6gb vram model.

Yeah maybe the 1070 is alot cheaper.
