Hey guys,

 

I just started building my first pc. I got the CPU, Ram and Motherboard for about $200.

 

CPU: Intel i5-4690k

Ram: Ballistix 16GBB

Motherboard: ASUS Z97M Plus

Case: MasterBox Lite 5 ATX Mid-Tower

Power Supply: CORSAIR CX-M Series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE

 

I need some advice on a good GPU to put in it. I wanna get the most out of this first build for a few years. I would like to run dual monitors.

 

Thanks guys for the help!!

Best bet would be to try and locate a Used 980 or 980ti for the best bang/buck combo. 980ti is equal to a 1070 in terms of gaming performance.

Why used?

Will be much cheaper than buying a new card these days.. a 1060 for 350$ when you get get 1070 performance with a 980ti for 275-300$ on average

Here is advice from me (a pro) it is going to depend on your resolution at 1080p your CPU will bottleneck a 1080 at 1440p it wont really be an issue so first find your resolution. If it is 1080p a 980ti (about the same as a 1070) is the max GPU I would put in it. If you want to game on both monitors I am unsure as I am a single monitor boy.
