help New build Help - canada

[Napalm360]

Hello People from the internet.

To quickly give in a little background on this, ive been planning to build a pc for a while and will be in2-3 months when i move to canada.

im 14 and i have a tight budget of $2000CAD (inc. 13% HST, and monitor) and im planning to be mainly gaming, might test youtube and twitch a bit and keeping upgradability in mind. 

I will be olanning to oc later once i equip a better cooler. 

 

Heres my build

 2: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/pHmr6X

 

i chose the g.skill ram because im digging that heatspeader and i know the no.2 build is a smarter move on money but im not sure the card will go with the white and black and a red accent with dark shades is more my theme 

 

thanks - side note. Is vuugo a good retailler for canada. If not does ncix price match with them

If you can fit all of your peripherals you want in that budget along with the build with the G Skill, then go for the one that you like better. They both will have the same/similar performance. Vuugo is a legit retailer, but thier shipping is rather slow and thier customer service is bad and some have said that they can have hidden fees

The GTX 1070 is better suited to a 1440p screen. It is a bit of a waste on a 60Hz 1080p screen. I would go with something like an RX 480/R9 390/GTX 970 depending on the prices, or wait for the GTX 1060.

I understand the 1070 is overkill but i want a card that will last 2-3yrs even if i have to turn down settings as its an amazing card. But if i had to go with a cheaper card. What do you reccomend i put my money into if i have spare

thanks

Either of these would be a cheaper option for 1080p

You also have the RX 480 and the upcoming GTX 1060 which looks like it might be a good card for the price.

 

I don't want to put you off the GTX 1070 if you are set on it. I was just showing how you could save some money and still get a good card for the resolution you are playing at.

Accually before the launch of new cards. I was set the 970. So if the 1060 is faster than the 480 and has a beetter cooler/build quality compared to the 10 series. Ill probably go for it, as i do want to overclock my card to the max i can on air
