R3 2200 + 1070 VS R5 2600 + 1060

[Ryanwake]

I didn't check the price difference between 1060 and 1070 new, I just checked used. 

 

1060 is 140 and a 1070 is 200 to 240 on eBay right now

 

if you would never consider buying a used graphics card just answer this question in general

[LukeSavenije]

can I just say 2600 and 1070?

[Ryanwake]

If you don't know what the difference is

R 3 + 1070 should give you load a medium settings at 4K you won't hit 60 FPS in every game I assume.

 

R5 + 1060, you don't want super high resolution 1080p 1440p medium-high settings, and on newer intensive titles you will probably need to lower the settings to medium low to hit 60 FPS

I could just remake this post with a $1,200 PC option, but that's pretty much the I didn't know r3 or i3 good game

I agree, that's my setup and i run everything Ultra with all gizmos on at 1080p over 75-80 fps not overclock on the 1070 yet

1200 USD can easily get you 2070 and a 2600.
