What GPU should I get?

[FineVisionz]

Hello,

 

My budget is $700 but I want to spend the less amount of money as possible.  I want to be able to play games at max or close to max settings with 60fps.

 

I am planning on getting a i7 4790k to go with the gpu.

 

1080p

[arronleeds]

980ti deffo mate, can pick em up for i believe in the $650 range.

 

ohhh... you have an fx-6300 which will bottleneck anything over a 280x....

 

you need to get a new cpu too or you cant really upgrade without issues.

[Enderman]

what resolution

and your CPU will be a huge bottleneck, so you should upgrade that first

[blueballs]

what resolution

[Dabasepc]

just get i5 4690k + GTX 970 or GTX 980 Ti

Do this. ^^

I am getting a i7 4790k to go with the GPU upgrade.

[Dabasepc]

980ti costs $650+

 his budget $700

[arronleeds]

 his budget $700

yes and he needs a new cpu and mobo.... what you gonna get with 50 bucks.

[arronleeds]

980ti then if youre already getting a new cpu and its not apart of the budget.

[FineVisionz]

 his budget $700

My budget is $700 for a GPU.

[Enderman]

I am getting a i7 4790k to go with the GPU upgrade.

So the CPU and mobo is not included in the $700?

Try to get a 980ti for $650

[Badger906]

don't get an i7 4790k if your main use is gaming. youll get ZERO benefit over an i5 4690k while gaming.

youll just be out of pocket about $100 for the same performance.

but get a 980ti as a gpu

[FineVisionz]

980ti then if youre already getting a new cpu and its not apart of the budget.

Yes,  My budget is $700 for a GPU.

[Dabasepc]

games at ultra settings what you should be looking at:

 

1080p 60hz = gtx 970

1080p 144hz = gtx 980ti

1440p 60hz = gtx 980ti

1440p 144hz = gtx 980ti sli

4k 60hz = gtx 980ti sli

[arronleeds]

he may aswell get the i7 4790k if he can, its more future proof

[Dabasepc]

i5-4690k+Z97+GTX 970 or 980TI would be the best.

 

if you really need the hyper threading of the i7 go for it but this will break your budget.

[Dabasepc]

not rly. if he wants something futureproof he should wait for socket 1151 and Skylake CPUs.

Get the 980ti

i5-4690k+Z97+GTX 970 or 980TI would be the best.

I do some Photo/video and music production here and there.  How much better will a i7 4790k do over the i5 4690k ?

[Praesi]

don't get an i7 4790k if your main use is gaming. youll get ZERO benefit over an i5 4690k while gaming.

I agree. I use a i5 2500k with the gtx980ti and it still runs absolutly perfect.

When will these cpu's come out?

[arronleeds]

When will these cpu's come out?

they wont be out for ages, they keep getting put back, the i7 is a better option than an i5 especially for rendering as it has hyperthreading so stick with the i7.
