What CPU for gtx 1070 triple monitor?

 

Bang for your buck performance, i5 6600K + Z170 + 3000MHz RAM.  ($375-ish)

 

I want this thing to run well, i5 6500 + H110 + 2133MHz RAM.  ($300)

 

I have money burning a hole in my pocket, i7 6700K + Z170 + 3000MHz RAM.  ($450-ish)

Why exactly 3000MHz ram, and how many gigs?

The same reason you want a higher CPU clock speed:  For better performance when it matters.

 

Games that have high CPU requirements will benefit from the faster RAM.  The cost of 3000MHz RAM is so close to the cost of 2133MHz that if you have a board that supports it (Z170), it would be dumb not to get it.:D

Im looking to build a Black and Green build. I found a Gigabyte G1 sniper Z170 board, does it support 3000MHz ram?

Yes.

 

GSkill has the best RAM right now.  TridentZ or Ripsaw V will be fine.

Okay so lets say i go with the "bang for buck performance" and a gtx 1070 what psu should i use then? And what 1070 would have the best bang for buvk performance

A good one. 

 

As far as GTX 1070's go, it is more luck than anything else.  The cheapest one with a good cooler on it.  You may take warranty into consideration and go EVGA for their great service.  The most important thing to performance is the silicon.  You don't have control over it, so it is luck.

Would 550W be enough? Was looking at the gigabyte G1 1070 cause it has a good cooler?

3x 1080p is Little over 2million pixels
4K is 8.8million of pixels.

A single 1920x1080 is 2,073,600 so 3x 1080p is a bit over 6 million pixels. (6,220,800)

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

For racing games outside pcars, a 1060 will be more than enough for triple monitor setups. I know people with 970s that pull it off in assetto corsa near max settings (except for reflections. Dem mirrors use a lot of power)

Main rig: Shockwave - MSI Z170 Gaming 7 MOBO, i7-6700k, 16GB DDR4 3000 MHz RAM, KFA2 GTX 980ti HOF, Corsair RM1000 PSU, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD, WD 7200RPM 3TB, Corsair Air 540 White, ASUS P278Q 1440p 144Hz display.

 

Laptop: Lenovo Y510p, i7-4700HQ, 12 GB (8+4) 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, GT755 2GB SLI graphis card, 1366x768 display.
