Motherboard: asustek model p8H67-M2/TPM/SI

 

CPU:INTEL I5 3330 @ 3GHZ

 

12 GIGS OF RAM ddr3  pc3-12800h

 

Gtx 760

 

Is my build. Its not great. Man, i read the forums. Watch ltt and jay2cents. My main goal is 1440p gtx 1070, but with just buying a new home. Kids. 3rd one coming. And i still need a back yard. I have decided i can get a gtx1060 and a new 27" monitor, but keep it 1080p i guess. 

 

Games i play are like shardsonline, hots, and random steam games. Dark souls 2 at the moment. But i want to jump into battlefield 1. But i wanted 1440p for work purposes too. Since i work from home.

Can i get a 1060 gtx windows 8.1.. still waiting for the free windows 10 download.. or can i get the 480 amd card, heard it was now better? 

If i do can i still use a 1440p monitor? Granted i guess low graphics of course with the 1060 or amd one.. i found a nice 1440 $333 bucks 75 hertz. Or should i just stick woth 1080p and jist dream of that 1440p gtx 1080..

 

Any of this make sense? In the end... i want to upgrade my graphics card.. and i want to upgrade my display. 

 

If i get 1070 on this with 1440p will it handle it? I have a 750 w powersupply. Its a few years old, but still working just fine. 

 

Thatd be a nice small upgrade. 1440p monitor 1070 gtx.. but im scared everything else will not handle it. 

 

Or should i just 1080p. Gtx 1060.. and save a buck... i have about oh 600.. maybe 800 bucks to throw in

kids, house, some other important stuff.

Rx 480 and 1080p is what i would get, maybe a 144Hz freesync one but that's about it.

I wouldn't go 27" at 1080p.

 

If you have to skip meals to get the better parts then skip on it. 

 

1060 will do 1440p... but not for too long

 

1070 will definitely be better though, and 1440p is nice for work

That's an F in the profile pic

Get this monitor

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116782&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Monitors+-+LCD+Flat+Panel-_-N82E16824116782&gclid=Cj0KEQiAhs3DBRDmu-rVkuif0N8BEiQAWuUJr85XZaAI7Njuz6aWxTLNgKvGwra4Wb-TVenK-SV9ovkaAoV78P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

And this GPU

Trust me, freesync is amazing and that GPU is much much better than a 1060. If you have a choice between a 1070/regular monitor and R9 Fury/free sync monitor I would go the AMD route in a heartbeat. But if you are willing to pay the extra for a gsync then go ahead and get a 1070.

 

If you want to play on 1440p/27 inch get this monitor instead

Don't get a 27 inch 1080p monitor, the pixel density is shit and it will look like shit.

Thank you. I work in my monitor too. Only reason i want to stat with 27 inch and i figured those pixels would be make it look so mich more efficient. I have a 1080p 24 inch aoc. Ill try gaming in that later on. Freesync. Ill give it a go. Inlike the 27 1440p you suggested. I may get it for sure. Thanks again
