Posted November 16, 2016 Hey LTT community, long time fan, first time poster. The holidays are creeping up and I'd like to put a new graphics card on my wishlist. The catch is that I don't exactly know the budget of the people who may or may not be buying for me. So, I thought I'd pick out an RX 470, an RX 480, a GTX 1070, and a GTX 1080, to give the buyer a wide range of options. The primary use-case is gaming. Mostly low-power stuff like League of Legends in 1080p. However, I'd like to upgrade to 1440p or even 4K in the near-ish future, hence the 1070 and 1080. I'm also considering streaming. Here is the link to my current setup on PCPartPicker. Honestly, any suggestions you folks can give would be greatly appreciated. I think I've included all the pertinent info, but if I missed something let me know. PS if I posted this in the wrong place, let me know and I'll move it. EDIT: To clarify, I was hoping for specific models of those cards that I could link to.
