do you guys feel the extra 250$ for the 1080 over the 1070 is worth the performance increase?




Up to you, ofc...

Also the define 5 vs the define s? Not sure on the case, heard the define s is better for cooling.

The Define 5 is better...actually they're pretty much the same for cooling. The Define 5 has 5.25" bays the Define S doesn't.

5 should be better,
but both cases are top notch, can't go wrong with either.
5 is hella huge though, get the define s if you don't like huge cases.

ya i read if you dont have a lot of hdd then go with the s because the hhd bays on the r5 restrict airflow

If you only want 1080P 144hz the 1070 is perfect the 1080 is overkill.

if you want 1440P 144hz or 4K the 1080 is your only option to get playable framerates in every game
