[senorwookie]

Hey Community,

I would like to have your opinion on a build. The PC will start with this stuff ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MNRcNN ) and later I will add an other RX480 and more RAM.

Switzerland, 1'300-1'400 CHF!, 1080p and it should be a Basis PC, so year later I can put another RX480 or add more RAM. Main Point is Gaming, Editing Videos.

This is why you want an i7 for gaming, also biggers SSD

 

 

Smoother frame time = less stutter

 

You can add a Water Cooler later

Also, i7-7700k is a really good chip, why pair it with an RX 480? Not even the best RX480...

because anything higher than a 480 won't fit into the budget. Also why not? People tend to keep CPU's much much longer than their graphics cards, also take into account the OP is planning Crossfire later, i7 again will help there

Changed a few things. GTX 1070. 650 watts is more than enough power. Cheaper Case and storage.

I dont think the 1070 is Price-Performance as good as the RX480. Atleast not in Switzerland

It is 40% better than the RX 480. Every product has its place. You can go with an RX 480, but it will be way less valued two years in the future compared to a 1070.

And an RX 480 is no where near as Price to Performance as a used cards, or this.

 

More power = More money.

Like I said I will go for 2 of them. And Crossfire 480 tops an 1070 and is on the scale of 1080. All based on Full HD. Here are my money refrences 1070 ( https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/asus-geforce-gtx-1070-strix-o8g-gaming-8gb-high-end-grafikkarte-5784435 ) and the RX480 ( https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/asus-strix-rx-480-o8g-gaming-8gb-high-end-grafikkarte-5887707 ).

Crossfire support is verry limited. Do you have a source for two RX 480s being on par with a 1070/1080?

I watched a Video about 1070 vs 1080 vs Crossfire RX480. I dont know if its a reliable source, but it was enought for me to choose this way.

So thise RX 480s are about 500 USD together, making them 100 USD under a 1080. Except with a 1080 you get much better 4k performance, higher resell price, and making the 1080 overall a better choice for most use cases.

Make it 200 CHF in Switzerland. And I wont play on 4k. I dont think its time to change to 4k yet. So I'm pretty happy with the 1080 results.

And in the video, most of his benchmarks were synthetic. And the one that did the best with the duel cards is 3d Mark, which scales verry well with multi-card setups. Its still your choice, but I would suggest a single 1070.
