Ultra 1080p gaming on a budget?

[Zeinone]

Hi LTT!

 

I am looking to build a decent 1080p desktop, and I have done some research. However i want you guys to confirm that the following partlist can run AAA titles at ultra on 1080p 60Hz, with having more fps on mainstream online games like LoL, Overwatch, CS:GO...

most if not all triple A games will only need 2.5 to 3Gb of VRam you only need more than 3 if you plan to go to 1440p and 4k

can definintly play it, but 1060 is overkill for 1080p, maybe an rx 480/470?

There is no price difference between 1060 and rx480 at my place, plus i need nvidia for some misc. software i use besides gaming

Try to grab the sapphire nitro+ rx 470. In multiple tests it went as good as a 480 and that is perfectly fine for 1080p.
I would use a bit more money on a i5 6500.

- You don't really need an aftermarket cooler if you don't have a k-skew processor (if you want one for acoustics, get the Hyper TX3/T4 or Cryorig M9i instead).

- 8 GB of RAM is enough for gaming purposes (or do those other programs that you mentioned before require more ram?)

- Added an SSD with saved money
