Sketchy three step build plan

[myselfolli]

So okay, I know this is sketchy af, but here's my plan:

 

1) Get these parts now:

PCPartPicker part list: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/836DGf
Price breakdown by merchant: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/836DGf/by_merchant/

You'll notice they don't feature RAM or a GPU, that's because I'll get the cheapest 4GB DDR4 stick I can find (seems to be about 44€ according to PcPartspicker) and because I have an old GPU laying around at home, the name escapes me at the moment. Should be sufficient though.

 

2) Get these parts soon(ish)

1060 & decent RAM (I was thinking 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200)

 

3) In the long run

Ditch the 1060 in favour of a 1080ti, because all dem sweet FPS.

 

Saving up the money for the 1080 will probably take me a few months (my job doesn't exactly pay well :/), but it'll be worth it I think.

 

I know this is probably dumb, but I am currently only rocking an about 4 years old laptop, which stutters and freezes watching Netflix, and I am sick and tired of that thing. I already have a monitor and a mouse/keyboard combo.

 

Any thoughts/suggestions? ^^

 

I should probably mention I'd be able two buy all the parts for step 1 right now...

1060 ti?

[themctipers]

get a stick of 8gb over a stick of 4gb, what old GPU do you have laying around, it might actually be worse than iGPU.

 

buy a nice higher midranged GPU and then upgrade to the next generation's flagship if you want.

Yea I guess 8GB shouldn't be too terribly expencive either...

 

As I mentioned, the name escapes me, but it's a card a friend of mine gave me when he upgraded. He was able to play PUBG @1080p on low to medium settings, so it should suffice for now. And it's free

So you're saying go with a 1060 or even 1070 and stick with it until the next generation (1180?) drops?

I don't know PUBG but that sounds like something around a R9 280 / GTX 670/760/770/960

should be better than iGPU, you'll want to kill yourself over 4GB of ram. 8GB is the bare minimum for me, and 16gb is the recommended

go for a 1070/1070ti

wait until next gen drops

see if you really want that new performance; if you do, sell.

if not, skip that generation and wait for the next. 

 

waste more money in the end, but you can play games at a more comfortable resolution/quality/framerate if you're playing at over 1080p.

So 8GB it is. Food is overrated anyways

 

Thanks for the input!

remember

1x 8GB because you can get 3 more sticks of 8GB later.

 

[seon123]

Don't buy half the system. Coffee Lake prices, RAM prices and GPU prices are inflated atm. Save up, and buy the whole system at once

No, I won't. The mobo is mini itx and only supports 2 RAM sticks. Plus since I'm planning to swap out the entire RAM anyways, I think I'll go with 2x4

[ImNotThere]

personally id get a 1050ti and save the money from not buying a 1060 and put it towards a 1080ti, i feel as if a 1060 is too big of an investment to replace in im assuming a year
