$500 - $700 - possibly $1100 for a graphics card

lilwolfgx

Hey, I have $700 and i need a graphics card as at the moment i don't have one at all and i'm running off of a AMD A10 7870K (which i was sorta scammed into at <icrocenter in 2015) so i was planning to get an AMD FX CPU but i'm not sure which to get any suggestions? and i'm also looking for a graphics card something that can play most of my games at 60fps at 1080p but can also handle intensive game creating and game design and video editing which also goes hand and hand with the CPU i was recommended a 1070 and i really am thinking about getting that cause that leaves me enough to get the CPU but if i get a new CPU i'd also need a MOBO  as my MOBO is fm2+ and obsolete and is quite hard to find a decently priced ATX fm2+ socket MOBO and my current MOBO (gigabyte f2a88xm-d3h) which was sold in  a bundle with the CPU doesn't have enough clearance for a MOBO so i either need a new MOBO thats fm2+ to fit in my build or a new CPU and MOBO and GPU but i'm not quite sure i can get a MOBO and CPU for less than $200 if i get the 1070. I was also thinking about the 980 ti since its only a couple frames lower in most games than the 1070 and that's usually playing at ultra settings which i may or may not do. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!! AM TRYING TO GET THIS WEEKEND IF POSSIBLE.

 

In summary I need a fm2+  MOBO and a graphics card and i have about $700 to use. I just wanna play my games at 60Fps or around that (GTAV, ass. creed, Bioshock infinite, fallout 4, fallout 3,the witcher 3, shadow of mordor, dirty bomb, and etc) i also want to be able to edit videos and such. any recommendations on a ATX fm2+ MOBO ( or FX CPU + MOBO combo deal) and a graphics card that can handle what i said. Please and thank you <3

You might want to reask the question using punctuation. Are you scared of periods?

Honestly, with that kind of budget I'd just start over. You can't really upgrade on the platform you're on, nor would I recommend it even if you could. AMD's current CPU's are too old.

 

i5, motherboard, RAM, and mid range videocard should be doable with your budget, especially if you factor in what you can sell the old stuff for.

 

Do you just play at 1080p on a 60hz monitor? Or are you running something better?

Yes i just play 1080p on a 60hz monitor. I've realized my mistakes my apologies. Also i know i'm pretty much starting over i just don't know what to get and if i can get it for $700.

The i5 i was looking at were going for quite a bit do you have any specific i5 suggestions? and i have an 8gb stick of RAM already. I just wanna know how much the CPU and Motherboard will leave me for my graphics card so i can know to either wait til my next paycheck or just get it today.

he's trying to get MOBO that has enough clearance for his MOBO because his current MOBO doesn't really have enough space to fit a MOBO

I agree with @DXMember's post: those are good budget builds.
