Help picking card!

[Catbattle]

I don't know what card to pick. My build is here (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sVtMTH) and I would rather only pay about 150-170 for the GPU, its a budget build, I want to be able to run Just Cause 3 medium settings 1080p 60 fps, in addition to other triple a titles. Also what do you think of the build?

RX 470.

RX470

Or if you're comfortable buying used you can probably get a 980 or 390 or something like that.

Just cause 3 has a lot of physics. you'll need a pretty good CPU. 

 

RX 480s should be in that range. Otherwise 1060s are about 250 USD. If not 1050s are pretty low priced.

Did you see his price range? RX 470 is the best option for around $170

I'd recommend an MSI version. Generally they're all the same. OC means overclocked. 

This one for instance isn't bad. I'm not sure the memory configurations that are available for the 470 though.

Yeah, I was gonna go with a higher up 1060 but I didn't realise it was on sale and it wasn't the base price lol.

The only answer to that question is yes

I'd recommend this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3121721

But it's literall 100 USD under your budget. 

Opinions on saphire? I have NO experience with this brand. 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202226&cm_re=RX_470-_-14-202-226-_-Product

It's 214 USD but it's 8gb.

Well I think the 4gb should be good enough for what I need it for. But if you think its not good please say?

I'd throw out the cooler on your build, as the stock cooler on the i3-6100 is more than enough so no reason to spend any money on an aftermarket one. Otherwise it's pretty efficient for performance per dollar.

Sounds good. You know of any CPUs that are better for only like 30 USD more?

The i3-6300 is a very very minor upgrade at $140 since it runs 100MHz faster and has 1MB more L3 cache than the i3-6100. I don't think it's worth it myself, save that extra $35 for the steam sale. The cheapest CPU that would be a significant upgrade would be the $175 i5-6400 (though the $190 i5-6500 is a better deal). I wouldn't pull money out of your gpu budget though to upgrade the cpu, as the RX 470 is one of the best gpus for the money I have seen in years.

Hmmm allright thanks for the input
