GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Graphic Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW DT GAMING ACX 3.0

 

Which is the best lol?

get the ACX 3.0, theres not really any difference between the FTW and SC. The founders edition has a different style fan which isnt always the best. (looks rather nice though)

Even a 1070 can't run every game at max settings in 1080p and get 60 FPS.

Watch Dogs 2

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Crysis 3

Hey Zyndo, I noticed that you are using the Corsair h100i v2. How do you like it so far? Thats the one I was looking to buy.

Its awesome and provides a ton of cooling for my 6700k. the stock fans rattle a bit for me though, so I'm going to be replacing those. its a problem that affects some, but not all, of the SP120L fans. some people fans are super quiet, and for others they rattle. but the overall noise is fairly minimal, and can only really be heard when there is no sound on the computer.

I plan on doing autoCAD and solidworks on it as well so i wanted cores over fps.

^might be worth a read. Usually most CAD software likes high frequency single core over highly multi thread, rendering and exporting drawing on the other hand just wants as much power as you can throw at it.

Good choice =). even with the minor bit of noise it makes I still consider it a pretty good investment. You could probably reduce/eliminate the noise with some cheap rubber washers to absorb the vibrations if you end up getting a bad fan or two.

I see, yeah I really dont want to go over ~$2000CAD on the build so as far as I can see the 1080 is out of my budget unless I can nab one for $500CAD lol

If you really want to get a really nice graphics card, don't get such a crazy expensive CPU. For gaming you don't need a 6-core processor. Go for a 6700k and save yourself some nice cash. 16GB of RAM is all you need for "future proofing". For storage get a 2TB WD Black hard drive, you can upgrade to a SSD later on if you want. Other than that just pick what kind of gaming you're doing and pick your stuff to fit it. Remember, pick everything before your graphics card. After that you can make sacrifices in places that you can upgrade later. For enthusiasts upgrading is the best part of it.

Yeah I already have the CPU, thats not really being factored into the budget of the build. Its everything else.

Hey lol one other question, I just saw you have the same ram as the one I was going to order. Is it good? Any issues?

I've not been doing much overclocking, but i had stability issues using the XMP OC preset with my RAM. I have the feeling it was a motherbaord issue and not a RAM issue though (I had to RMA my previous motherboard because it was having issues, i haven't tried out the XMP on this one yet), but its plenty good at stock speeds and haven't had any issues since.
