I have a ryzen 5 2600x and I am wondering which GPU to buy that will not bottleneck the rig. I will play many on this new gaming rig games such as CS:GO, PUBG, Apex legends and will play some new release games such as Anthem. All these games I will play on a 1080x1920 144Hz monitor. I want to play all these games as high as possible with a £300-£440 budget for a graphics card. I have been mostly looking at the Gtx 1070 and 1070ti in this price range. Any other suggestions for graphics cards would be nice or if the 1070/ 1070ti would create a bottleneck. If you need anymore information then please ask.

A high end graphics card won't be bottlenecked by that CPU, so the sky is the limit for you. The 2600x doesn't deliver a choppy 144Hz experience for the most part.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Your best bet is a used 1080. Better performance than the 2060 for about the same price. Just make sure you don't get a crappy blower card or something. This looks like a pretty rock solid deal.

"uhhhhhhhhhh yeah id go with the 2600 its a good value for the money"
