Okay so I'm building an computer for my birthday (May 17th) my budget is $650 - $750 I've been doing some research and I think a RTX 2060 will do the job... but it's quite expensive so I did some more research and an GTX 1070 is good too, but I'll would like the RTX 2060 because of the ray tracing and better encoder, can some one make me a part picker list of an RTX 2060 build for $650? If you cannot than make an GTX 1070 build for $650

thanks!,

4 months from now the PC parts scene is gonna be completely different. Anything we suggest now could be a terrible value by that time.

 

It's best to make a parts list a week or so in advance, basically when you order the parts.

Hello,

 

You won't be able to fit a 400$ GPU with a budget so small. I don't think even an used 1070 can fit in the budget.

Don't buy parts today for a build that will happen in May. A GTX 1070 used today is about $200. Give it a couple months and that might be down to $150. If you go with a $350 RTX 2060 today, you'll struggle to build a well-rounded system around it.

Seeing as the RTX 2060 is 300 USD or more, you are basically asking for 'the rest' of the system for 350 USD, which is difficult.

This is probably about the cheapest you should go with an RTX 2060.

That is cutting quite a few corners, like 8GB RAM, Ryzen 5 2600 instead of 3600, only an SSD and no HDD and a budget case.

(and also with a MIR on the GPU).

Of course the market can change, which might shave 50 USD off the system (like maybe a Ryzen 1600 AF), but I doubt it will get you right in that sweet spot for a gaming system (which would include some more RAM and a HDD added).

 

Take a look at second hand GTX 1070 and 980 Ti cards (and also 1070 Ti) to maybe get a decent deal. Or check in during May, when stuff will have changed in the mean-time.

It's not 400 it's 300$

Wow thanks a lot
