saw some benchmarks of it for overwatch and i think it will run everything fine, i am open to suggestions though as long as it is an NVIDIA card

That's a last gen card. Get a AMD Rx 580, so worth it. But it's about the same as GTX 1060 6GB, so that's also worth it.

 

i5 is useless, get AMD Ryzen 5.

so it costs 300$ brand new and newer cards such as the gtx 1060 or rx 580 for less price you and better performance you wont going to pay for one of them

You can't generalize cards. 

 

Also why the Intel fanboying? R5 is better at this point.

also, you should watch more cards that are on the marketing, NOT JUST ONE

just give him a i5 + 970 and let it go, you're wasting your time arguing imo

Who cares? I will argue to the end.

I just want to help you make a decision. If you already knew exactly what you wanted, why did you ask here?

Don't know if you wanted to include a monitor or the OS but I would get Windows 10 From Kingwin because I got Windows 10 Pro for $40

I really don't understand the insistence on Intel and Nvidia if amd is providing better value...

 

That said, @herman mcpootis's build looks good to me.

That's not really a good way to see it, it's like saying "Toyota is better than Opel at making cars".

Amd has good cards, Nvidia has bad cards and vice versa.

Depends on the cards, but RX580>GTX1060>GX970

That's up to you.

Agreed, right now the AMD equivalent to this generations i5's are the R5's, and they win in P/P.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! Look up more cards around your budget, there are TONS of options.
