Sorry, $800 for a machine that's going to offer 1080p Gaming being just a 4Gb card. Optane consists of 3D XPoint memory, Intel memory and storage controllers, Intel interconnect IP, and Intel software. ... "Optane Memory" is what Intel calls their Optane powered caching SSDs. The Optane Memory Module itself is a PCIe Gen3x2 single-sided 2280 SSD. It comes in two capacities, 16GB and 32GB.
Kind of useless or oddly configured... For 1080p I'd rather see a i5 or 1600X CPU, the OEM 570X 4Gb, and a 128Gb SSD instead of Optane, and see a price of $600.
CC, would be interested if you trip across one that you do consider to be a good value. I have a decent graphics card I can transfer over, but my desktop overall is getting a bit dated and I don't feel like doing another build....prefer to just buy the whole package this time, but thus far nothing has really jumped out at me as a good deal. Thanks.
^ Here's what you face... you'd be looking at i7 or Ryzen 7 CPU and I'd want 16Gb ram for a 4K game play. Cheaper system have small cases the don't always lend themselves to that RX580 while then a with 500W PSU with PCIe connectors.
While most OEM/Boutique builds that offer room and PSU's are gaming builds and have a card in them. Given the 4k monitor and the cost that Nvidia GP104 cards are getting down to and upgrade in offering 4K gaming, I'd just go for a pre-built with a GTX 1070-Ti-1080 and sell the RX580.
I built starting with their ONYXIA Mid-Tower (Black) the Ryzen 1700/MSI 470 Gaming Mobo, with a 120mm AIO cooler; 16Gb /3000MHz GEIL EVO POTENZA and GTX 1070 Ti and it comes to just under $1300

Here's a Acer GX-281-UR14 Ryzen 7 1700X; GTX1070 8GB; 16Gb DDR4-2400 Ram; 256GB SSD+2TB HDD for $1100. Sell the RX580 for $180 (and other system parts) and you get out with less than $900.
