Instead of the 7500 and cooler and mouse/keyboard combo could i get an i5 6500 with stock cooling and then a good keyboard? because i already have a rivial 300 mouse

What about a 6500 as cpu and then take away the ssd? cause i would prefer a better gpu than ssd

@herman mcpootis Aha. He prefers a stronger and powerful Gpu

and of course, the gtx 1070 is wasted on a 60hz monitor.

yeah but he wants a more powerful bloody GPU.

still over budget, an rx 480 is enough for ultra on 1080p 60hz, a gtx 1070 would be overkill for it. an ssd would make your system much more responsive and is overall more worth it than an overkill gpu.

Oh, So if i was to get a 1070 it would be next to pointless becasue of the monitor so i might as well go with your original build? Thanks for your help

Which won't provide an advantage at 1080p 60 in immediate performance. The advantage is in longevity and modification. The GTX 1070 is a 1440p card, and will become obsolete at 1080p long after the RX 480. At 1080p, I'd argue that this is not enough to warrant the extra investment. If OP wants to mod the hell out of Skyrim SE, Fallout 4 etc, then he's pushing each engine to its absolute limit, and will need an overpowered card to hit a stable 60FPS even at 1080p. I don't know if this is OP's use case.

 

What if someone lives in a hypothetical country where the fastest speed limit is 60 Km/h, and they want a car? Would you recommend a Ferrarri, knowing that he'll never be able to exceed 60 km/h? No. In terms of performance, the Ferrari is equal to a Sedan here. Sure, you get bragging rights, style points, and a car that will last longer, but you also spend more money for no increase in performance.

Not pointless- the RX 480 will become obsolete faster, so you'll have to upgrade it sooner than you would a 1070, which can probably last you five years. If you're modding games heavily like I said, you're pushing an engine the same way a developer would, and I would recommend a higher-tier card.

 

A 1070 will be appropriate if you're playing 1080p at 144Hz rather than 60.

I Wont be heavily modding, ill just be mainly playing multiplayer games. So Is the rx 480 8gb The best for me?

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend. @herman mcpootis' build is arguably the sweet spot. I'll just recommend a far cheaper build that isn't as good but will still do a fine job. I also included a 1080p 75Hz Freesync monitor; a resolution and refresh rate an RX 570 will have no trouble pushing on popular multiplayer titles like CS:GO, Overwatch, Rocket League, TF2 etc.
