Posted October 23, 2016 Hi, I live in Canada and My gaming PC recently broke... I want to build a new one but with the exchange, I don't have a big budget. I was wondering if anyone could refer me to the best graphics card to play all games on ultra/very high well over 60 fps that would fit in a 1500$ cad or1100$ usd?

Posted October 23, 2016 Wow. That's a lot of money spend toward a single GPU. If you have that budget then definitely go for the GTX Titan.

Posted October 23, 2016 I would have suggested a 6600K and a GTX 1070. No real point in an i7 unless you do some kind of heavy work load. A 6600K will even handle some streaming.

A 1080 and 6700K are just fine on a 550W so 1070 is ez (unless he wants to SLI in the future, then go 750W) This website needs to get it's shit together. Everyone I've talked to so far has recommended at least 600W for i7-6700k + 1070. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 23, 2016 7 minutes ago, brebis123 said: thoughts ? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/PYt64C I'd change the cooler to the beQuiet PURE ROCK. Just be noted, if you plan on going for 1080p 144Hz gaming, the i5 6600K will bottleneck the GTX 1070 in quite a few titles. 'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum. Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
