Triple a titles at mid to high settings... The 970 gets like 70fps at stock in bf1 which is a 480/1060 equivalent.

I don't think GTX 970 is equal to RX 480 or GTX 1060, I think they perform equal to GTX 980. GTX 970 is less powerful than RX 480 or GTX 1060.

I still would rather go used.

The 1060 3G in my tests scored only slightly higher than the 970 both at stock

Bullshit buzzer has been hit and slammed. 

1060/480 = 980 - Nvidia have said themselves

It is 1060 3GB not 6GB. 3GB one is less powerful than 6GB one as it is not just VRAM that is reduced, Nvidia reduced other things like cuda cores too.

3GB is more cut down than a suicidal teenager, less CUDA than full fat 1060 6G

In valley the 1060 3G got 2632 right? My 970 got 2478 both at stock, slightly better.

I know. Lol the 3G is also cheaper and more in budget.

Why you no AMD? 480 4GB/8GB are the same chip

But you should mention it as GTX 1060 3GB not as GTX 1060 as GTX 1060 is referred to GTX 1060 6GB.

You can get G4560 instead of i3 7100 as the performance difference is less. Not to worry about iGPU as we are using dedicated GPU. Add a B250 motherboard. So if you make these changes you can afford for a better GPU like droidbot and it ends up as the same build droidbot posted.
