Again, with no budget being mentioned, 1070. 

He said cheapest, meaning he'll spend as much as he has to to get that experience and no more. You don't need to know the budget to give him that. And you're right, a 1070 is the minimum. 1060 won't really do that in AAA games (it'll be close, but not quite) and there's nothing between a 1060 and 1070.

A 980 Ti will work as well as a 1070. Keep in mind that a 980 Ti uses way more power though, and not all PSU's can support it. Mine takes two 8-pin connectors.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
