is it worth buying a 1060 6gb when building a new computer? (I currently have no computer)

[Ali Rizvi]

hello all
i live in Pakistan so getting new stock is almost impossible for me. so, I am building a computer with for not a lot of budget (approx 800 usd). i going to get a core i5 11400 or 11500. and i can get a 1060 at around 250 usd. is it a good buy or should I wait? (not buying means that I will not have a gpu )

I think it is a touch on the expensive side but not outrageous. Have you looked at the price for the 10400? In my country the difference is rather big!

The price in this market is not too bad. As long it is in good order it will be much better than nothing and it can run games.

Seems average, if you need/want it, buy it. Spent 150 for a 3gig model and it was missing a part. But I can play bf4 on it, so well worth it to me.

Seems fine.  I wouldn't ball out too hard on any other components, keep the rest minimal.  Check eBay cheap for CPU MoBo combos of zen 1/2 or later skylake refreshes.
