1. Get an i7 7700k and play on integrated gpu

 

2. wait for vega releasing in july

 

3. get a gtx 1080 for another 150-300$

If the euro and US dollar are also the same thing to you, than I guess..

 

 

If I were you, I would wait for Vega if you have the time or get a 1070 (if you can still)

i was planning on getting a 1070 strix and over a month the price on increased about 20cad, which about 15 usd. So either ill get that for around $580 CAD, or i can get the asus dual 1070 for about 537$, (price didn't change at all)

not sure what memory they used in the strix, the memory in the dual card doesn't seem to like overclocking much if at all so fyi if that matters to you

i might just skip the ssd in my build for an old hard drive temporary, and get a 1080 instead for an additional 30%ish performance boost

Keep the SSD. Plenty of games (with the exception of the most demanding AAA titles) will run well enough on an iGPU with adjusted settings. Just find something interesting to keep you busy while waiting out the mining storm.
