Comments?

And one question: If my CPU has only 16 PCIe lanes - which this does - does having a 16x GPU and a 1x WiFi Card throttle the GPU down to x8?

I dislike simultaneous releases

Budget is non-flexible. At all. But as soon as I can, I'm going to upgrade.

Look at those specs. I'm running GTAV at 1920*1080 (not even native) to get a 22fps

all I am saying is that the g4560 is holding back the 1070 in cpu bound games.

a 2700k would be compatible with your current mobo and would perform much better than the cpu you stated in your build

This is a much better balanced build:

Using a 1060 only because there are no AMD cards. RX cards are a better choice tbh.

CPU has dedicated lanes for GPU seperately and other lanes for stuffs like a wifi card, no need to worry

And running at x8 or x16 makes no noticeable difference 

 

perfrel_1920_1080.png

 

As stated, G4560 will hold back your 1070

Get something like Ryzen 5 and an RX 480/580 or GTX 1060 inatead, they are more than enough to run most modern titles (incl. GTA V) maxed out at 1080p

WD Green is based off SanDisk SSD Plus which is regarded as one of the bad performing drive

-bad CPU gpu combo

-z series board with locked CPU?

-why a CPU cooler?

-bad ssd

 

@deXxterlab97's build is way better, though I might consider taking it and using a 1600+1080 instead. And also 25" is a bit small for an ultrawide (perhaps 1600+1070+29um68 would be a good choice)

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
