GTX 1070

[DutchTexan]

What do y’all think of this build, but replacing the gtx 980 with a 1070. I heard the 1070 will realistically be around $400?

How well (guess, I’m not up today with the gtx 1070) would this be able to handle[simulators and Starcraft 2] 1440p? 4k?

According to Nvidia, 1070 = 980Ti. 

SC2 doesn't require that much to run, does it? 

 

I personally can't fault that build at all, very solid. Gigabyte's boards are solid, good quality RAM, good SSD+HDD combo, and good case + PSU.

SC2 is not demanding at all. On top of that, I run SC on the absolute lowest settings. So the most demanding thing would be a RC flight simulator, haha. I should buy 4k monitor no worries?

I have a 4k and a 2k for gaming a 2k is better in my opinion because you get a lot more fps.

It is ok only 60hz and 5ms in response time

For starcraft I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_25?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1463621562&sr=1-25&keywords=acer+monitor

It is a tn so the angle of view is not amazing but it does not bother me since I look at the screen strait and it is 144hz and 1ms which is great.

what screen do you currently have? is it mostly for gaming? editing? other?

I just have an older acer 1080p monitor. Most of my time I spend doing college and work stuff or watching youtube videos. I only game a few hours a day if at all. I’ve been thinking of getting a basic 4k 60hz monitor for my over all needs, but I might just buy this one : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149QBOF0/ref=psdc_1292115011_t3_B00VRCLHYS#Ask or the one you’re using doesn’t look bad either.

If you are not a heavy gamer I think that 60hz is enough. They only think you need to keep in mind is that you will have much lower fps on a 4k screen. That is why I have a 4k and a 2k ^^

That dell looks good too.

that is the 4k screen I have. I am happy with it.

it is also 60hz (displayport only) and 1ms response time
