~$650 of upgrades

[TheNeonWhiteOne]

I am willing to spend about 650 not much more on upgrades. I have a case and psu, just need cpu, mobo, gpu, and ram. 

and yes I know h110 won't support kaby lake if its not updated but it's much cheaper 

 

Option 1: rx 480 and i5 7600 and 16gb of ram or I could just go 8gb

Option 2: gtx 1070 and 7600 and 8gb of ram the 1070 is currently on sale on Amazon for $334.99

Option 3: Xeon E3-1231 V3 and the 1070 with 8gb ddr3 ram that I already have but much less upgradable

Option 1, 16gb of ram is a must. 

[Jonadong]

If you get the 1070 fe, you might be able to get 16gbs of ram

Depends on the games you play. For me I will choose option 2.
Why you don't create a poll so that everyone can vote the best option for you?

16gbs of ram is good for games, but not required for most. I would go for a better gpu, cpu, and mobo now, and upgrade to 16gb of ram later.

And what about the 7600 non k with the 1070? would the 7600 bottleneck at 1080p or higher if I use the things to render the game at a higher resolution then downscaling

That is a pretty good deal. Is it the Zotac one in the PCPP?

yea zotac mini

Option 2. 

 

8 GB of RAM is sufficient enough for gaming, as long as you don't let your computer get infested with junk.

 

The 1070 wipes the floor with the 480, so that's a more important purchase than extra RAM which could be purchased later for much cheaper.

It's fine.

 

Your voting choices either have that or the Xeon anyway, so I assumed a 7600K was not being considered.

yea the 7600 is cheaper and turbos to only .1 ghz less and I won't be overclocking. 

and the Xeon would be nice for hyperthreading and I won't need new ram because I already have 8gb 2133mhz of ram, but it won't be as upgradable. and I just saw jet has 15% off on first couple orders

Keep in mind that, for the most part, Xeons have lower clock speeds and are usually not overclockable. The 7600 will give you a better experience.

[TheNeonWhiteOne]

looking at jet discounts I can get the 7600 for 193 and 16gb of ram for 98.64 and total is ~675
