GPU for my build

[ant666_2]

hi, im planning a R7 1700 build. see below.

im hoping to put a mid to high end 10 series GPU in it but with the curent state of the market, because of miners. Im thinking abiut using my 960 4GB untill the market sorts out (if it ever does) still keeping the money for the gpu saved. i dont particulay want to invest the gpu budget else where as its also an afordability issue too.

 

this is my current gpu: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-pny-geforce-gtx-960-oc-pcie-30-7200mhz-gddr5-gpu-1203mhz-boost-1266mhz-cores-1024-dp-hdmi-dvi-d-

 

is this a good idea or should i just get a 1050/ti/1060 instead??

im asking because a there are 6gb 1060 models outr there. (i may have just answerred my own question)

What will you be using this rig for?

 

[Jurrunio]

a 1080 is just £471, so that's an option.

 

Otherwise you can get a used 980ti.

That's the problem £400 is my max limit on a gpu, that's why I'm I'm unsure about what to do..  I'd love a 1080/ti but it's all money. I'm buying 1-2 parts per month

Drop the cooler and RGB fans and use that money for the gpu ? You can always add them later.

Don't do that.

 

What monitor(s) will you be using with this system?

You can probably get around 3.7GHz with the stock cooler. Obviously if you have a good cpu you might get a bit more out of it.

For how much 1060 prices have hiked because of miners, you can get a 1070 for not much more. That's what my buddy wound up doing once we saw how bad 1060s had jumped.
