1080p, Max Settings, 60fps+

Gregbenson715 · December 28, 2015

Hey I'm wanting to build a 1080p gaming pc in a couple of months, I don't have a budget but 1440p and 4k vs 1080p there's really no difference to me. I'm only gaming, a 250gb ssd would be nice. I don't want to spend too much on stuff I don't need. I'm thinking around $1000 max including a monitor and a mouse and keyboard.

What kind of monitor do you want? What kind of keyboard do you want? What kind of mouse do you want?

I'm assuming you don't need to overclock, so here's my recommendation. A bit over budget but I hope that's okay with you:

for a build like yours, 90% of people choose 970/390

just letting you know, that those cards can't reach stable 60fps maxed in some games (example: GTA5, Witcher3) (Had both of them)

if you really want to max the games, and since you don't have a budget.. get 980/Fury

The R9 390 is a hot running card.

For fan placement this is what I'd do.

Edit: This motherboard only has one fan header, I'll look for a different motherboard
