Hi Everyone

 

I'm in the process of building a new PC for myself, for the purpose of Gaming and Auto CAD drawing and rendering

So far I've bought:

I7 8700k

Asus Z390 ROG Strix M/B

Raidmax 735w Thunderbolt PSU

Raidmax Aplha Prime Case. 

 

I've budgeted around $500 for a Graphics Card and I have been thinking along the lines of a EVGA GTX 1070 Ti

 

Would that be good enough for me? or should I extend the budget further and go for something better? 

 

I am not into very hard core gaming, GTA 5 or Forza Motorsport is my poison. 

 

Your Advise is highly appreciated
