Agree with @Franze on price and the PSU; it’s driving a whole heap of stuff there and could have more zip.
On face of it a good machine, I’d just be wary of not buying from a system integrator directly where you may get better access to support and slightly keener prices.
There are several reviews of Walmart’s gaming systems out there and they don’t seem to be favorable.
Wow…people actually buy PCs at Walmart?! 
I’m building a new home for my 2080 ti today. Basically, I’ve been making do with a Falcon NW Fragbox v3 for a few years. It’s quiet and takes up minimal space, but leaves a lot to be desired in the cooling dept. Moving everything to a Corsair 460x.
Disassembly underway.
Primary components removed. Will probably not install the optical drive. Thoughts?
New home awaits installation.
I have an external optical drive. Haven’t used it in years…
Havent had a disc drive installed in years.
My last build, 3 years ago, I left out the optical drive because I mistakenly ordered a case without one. Have never needed it.
Back in business. Still tinkering with fan control as it seems to want to run WFO, but CPU and GPU temps are much cooler.
I guess I’m the outlier in that I still will use my DVD drive to burn discs from ISOs I download (such as from Rifftrax) and watch some. I also have a lot of old stuff archived on DVD/CD and I will also rip CDs on occasion.
Why? Because you can’t get digital copies for many of the CDs that I buy. A lot of the collector’s CD sets are limited run things. I still want to have copies to put on my phone or player, though.
However, if you don’t need to do any of that stuff, then you may not need one.
Fan problem solved. I thought that I was going to need to replace the fans with 4 pin PWM type, but went into the BIOS, set all of the fans to PWM, and then ran the calibration utility that came with the ASUS mobo, and all is well. Really liking this case.
My 2080ti is running a staggering 20c cooler in X-Plane high settings and 4K. 58c vs 78c. This is basically the same load as VR. Very happy camper right now. Case is a Corsair 460x.
I also have a portable optical drive.
I used it once or twice during the last four years, to create Linux installation DVDs. 
I still have a couple games–Oblivion, STALKER COP–that look for the disc.
2080 cards are now hitting or around MSRP
I’m waiting for 2070s to hit a price that is reflective of what they are actually worth.
They seem more or less useless for RT games at this point (which was suspected before they even came out) but don’t offer a big enough bump over the 1070 for the price.
I spent $320 to get my 1070 in early 2017 and I’m looking for a card under $400 when I replace it.
I don’t think you’ll have to wait long, I saw a 2070 priced at $480 today.
I’m hoping!
Same here. I am getting back into DCSW more and more, I will need a new PC.
What does anyone think about the 2060? It is apparently faster than the 1070/1070Ti and recommended as an upgrade path for those with the 1070. It is also relatively cheap (compared to the 2070/2080 options). I can’t find any deals on 1080/1080Ti’s around here and I am considering if the 2060 might be a stopgap until the next gen of cards. (AMD’s new 2080 competitor has not impressed me with it’s high price)
Might be an option.
I mean: it is noticeably slower than the 2070 or 2080 it seems, but it is a lot cheaper.
I am a bit sad that it only has 6GB VRAM since DCSW and some other games like to guzzle that up quickly.
Especially if you are not planning to play in VR the card will probably be just fine in almost every game.
But then: a friend of mine is playing DCSW in VR on a 1060, so… yeah why not? It just looks a bit less good.
Yeah. I was tempted to get a 2070 or 2080 but the cost versus performance increase didn’t make sense. Sure, there are new features but for the games I play I am likely not going to see Raytracing or DLSS anytime soon. The card announced my AMD recently (Radeon VII) provides the performance to ‘match’ the 2080 … but an an RTX 2080 price (Radeon VII at $699 US MSRP versus $714 US for a MSI GeForce RTX 2080). I don’t want to put out $1000 CDN for a video card that doesn’t blow me away with performance ‘protect’ me for at least year of future products and be able to handle next-gen VR.
I also can’t find any 1080 Ti’s at sub 2080 prices either … which is frustrating. The 2070, being $300 cheaper is tempting but the performance still feels like a stop gap until the next gen.
Which is what leads me to the 2060: because if marginal performance increase is what we are talking about and I am starting to feel that my 1070 is becoming marginal in DCS, does the 2060 offer a push back into the comfortable area of DCS (for me, keeping visual distances at where I would like and where I am finding the 1070 is stressing a little at 1440p widescreen resolutions (3440 x 1440). $500 versus $700 is pretty significant and if the 2060 can push me to 1070 Ti levels, maybe I am ‘safe’ for a year?
Maybe I am just stretching to get something as an upgrade when I really don’t need anything for the time being 
BTW: Eurogamer has great, fancy graphs that allow you to select what you want to compare against: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 benchmarks: faster than the GTX 1070 | Eurogamer.net
EDIT: Oh and my monitor (LG34UC88) can do the G-Sync thing under the new Nvidia drivers for my 1070 … but it’s not great and I lose an unacceptable number of FPS to get away from the tearing … which is what frustrated me with the 1070 I guess. Stupid features I never had before making me see the limitation in my current hardware. What kind of world is this? (first world problems)
