Starting with a big deal on a high-end graphics card, B&H is offering a discount on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by way of a $999 bundle that packs in a computer case, modular PSU, motherboard, liquid cooling system, and more. This card’s dominance in the GPU pack will likely be toppled by Nvidia’s own Turing cards that are expected to be unveiled next week, but it’s still a decent deal if you’re looking to build a new PC.
