what is a good Graphics card for video editing, 3d cad, and gaming 1440p.

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

I am going to be building a computer in the near future and  i am trying to put together a parts list. i am going to be using an i7 6700k, ROG VIII Hero Alpha, NZXT Noctis 450, EVGA 600 watt PSU, NZXT Kraken x31, g.skill trident z 16 gb 3600mhz, and i am looking at the evga gtx 960 4gb FTW, is that a good Gpu, willi be able to do 3d cad? 

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

also, will the GTX 960 4gb FTW be able to run most games at 1440p?

Of course, probably around 99% of games. Games like Withcer 3 and ROTR? Definitely not, without dialing settings way way back.

Not with setting on ultra

I'd recommend the R9 390 or R9 290

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

i see, right now, those GPU's are out of my budget, my budget tops out at 250.

what's your budget? ideally just get a 980ti and you'll be set. A 960 will run games badly at 1440p trust me. Unless you enjoy low settings.

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

like i said my budhet is 250. i was looking at the GTX 970s but they are just too much for me right now.

then wait.

you wanna blow 100% on your money now, on 5% power, or wait 3,4 months, and get 50% power?

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

not you, the look of it, not you.

went a bit overbudget... but just because u fix on some high end parts...

i skipped an ssd for now just to fit in a 390 for much better performance than the 960, u can replace it with a 970

i suggest you get an ssd when you have extra money in the future. for now, live with a hdd

so i should skimp on the less important parts like super high speed ram, to have more money for more important parts.

hah,

 

ram speeds doesnt really matter after you cross 1866mhz

[Bajantechnician]

You can change the 390x to a 390, and get more hdd, or better ssd

i wouldnt change the case if someone picked it, its a very personal preference thing lol

as i mentioned, mine cost more because i was trying to fit in as many things from his wishlist as i could

[SkylakeAlex6700k]

Thanks for the link, helps a lot, also good to know that i can save a pretty penny by using slightly slower RAM and overclocking it.
