I need help in picking a GPU

[Randomguy123]

So im planning on building a new pc cuzz mine is old !

 

I just need an advise on what GPU all the other parts are already fine for me

so im planning on picking:

 

CPU : i5 8400

Motherboard : Asus Z370 prime

RAM : Hyperx Fury Black 2400mhz 2x8

SSD : Adata ssd 120gb

HDD : Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Case : S340 NZXT white

Power Supply :  Corsair - CP-9020131-EU - 750 Watt 80 Plus® Gold Certified PSU

CPU cooler : NH-D15

GPU: ?????

 

I dont know what to choose , i have a 60 hertz 1080p Monitor , is a 1070 overkill for it ?

Im planning on playing 1080p on CSGO , ARMA 3 , Dayz ,Overwatch , Fortnite .

I dont like overclocking cuzz it feels like im damaging the thing im overclocking.

i dont realy like the 60 FPS i like 80+ FPS

 

My Struggle is that is 1060 6GB going to provide me what i want and wont be overkill OR  can i get a 1070 and that wont be overkill?

 

Please help me im struggling in this build for months !

1070 will be fine, but get a better monitor when you can.

I dont realy have money for a monitor im realy spending all on this PC , im planning on being with this system for like couple years ...

1070 will be overkill, a 1060 is perfect for 1080p 60hz, If you plan to buy a new monitor (1440p 144hz or just 144hz) buy a 1070.

You can buy an amd rx580 that's a 1060-like and buy a cheaper freesync monitor (144hz tn around 250$)

My gf has a 1060 + 7600 and thats sweet spot to play at high/ultra on 1080p.

I play 1440p 165hz with a 1070 and tried before my monitor 1080p with that card and you wont notice difference at 60hz vs a 1060.

EDIT : People doesnt understand how a monitor can change your gaming experience, 1080p 60hz vs 1440p 165hz is like or better than upgrading your gpu. Any 144hz with any sync its just like playing on a perfect oiled machine

1070's performance is fine at 1080p 60Hz for a couple of years to come, but the price it currently sits at ($400) sucks. The 15% faster 1070ti and 20% faster 1080 sits at $440 and $460 respectively, making the 1070 pretty poor value.

 

Also, the build is unbalanced.

 

750w PSU is overkill since 550w will power 8700k + 1080 with headroom left, you can save some money here.

Why Z370? Is this Z370-A or Z370-P?

S340 Elite doesnt have enough height limit for the NH-D15, which is wayyy overkill for an 8400 in the first place. Get something like a Dark Rock 4, Cryorig H5 or NH-U12S instead, even they are overkill enough that you dont need audible fan speeds to keep the CPU cool (unless you dont use any case fans)

GTX 1070 will be perfect for 1080p if you like playing games with no less 60fps, but in a few big new games you will have to turn down or off few features in options. However most games will run on Ultra. I wouldn't recommend you any GPU with lower power than GTX 1070.

if you can wait im thinking a lot of good sales should be coming with the looming drop of the new cards on the 20th and you might get a great  deal on a next tier up card  getting that 1070 for the price of a 1060. the 1060 6Gb is a solid card and does 1080 gaming all day but having the HP to be good for the next set of game launches in 2-3 years might be worth the extra cash up front to play at better settings and you never know you might be able to get a 144Hz monitor in the future look at it from how is this going to serve me in 5 years you have really good hardware to start with for a mid tier build might as well throw the best card you can afford into it to try to keep from buying another one also you can add another 1070 in sli you cant do that with the 1060 if you do end up needing more power down the road.

I had the same dillema when pascal launched, will 1060 be good enough for 1080p 60hz, or should I pick 1070. I have mine 1060 for two years now, and now I am thinking if I should upgrade my monitor to something like 2560x1080, 1440p or some 144hz.. On 1080p the only game that didn't held steady 60 frames was Ghost Recond Wildlands ( I can assume AC Origins would be another one, haven't played it yet tho). Most of the multiplayer titles still pump around 100-120 fps on maxed settings, 6gb of ram this card has is not even utilized in 50% most of the time.

 

Then again, you could do as others suggested and get 1070 when new gpus will be announced and price will hopefully drop. More power can't hurt.

Weird. Are you sure you're setting everything on Ultra? Here my fps goes down below 60fps if I try playing on Ultra Killing Floor 2 (Gibs and Flex), Witcher 3, The Division...Should I continue more? And yes, my resolution is a bit bigger 2560x1080, but still I doubt it's that big to have this problem... Not saying anything about new upcoming games... Simply buying anything below 1070 is not a good idea nowdays in my opinion.

the current 1070 is like the old 980ti in proformance its the old top tier card with better thermals and power delivery/utilization. so the next set of cards the 1080ti will fall in the place of the 1070 and the next top card till take its spot with its architecture being more efficient im hoping for more mini cards and short PCB cards for SFF builds kind of like the lower end cards in this generation the 1050s and the 1060s if it doesn't have the extender on it.

 Yes I am sure  2560x1080 is 33% more pixels than 1920x1080 so it sounds reasonable that fps could dip below 60 on this res... Thank you for your input because now I think I may be better to just stick to my 1080p monitor for now.

Ghost Recon Wildlands is really demanding to the entire system, not surprised if 1060 fails to maintain 60fps tbh. Even my system averages out at 65fps with a mix of high and ultra settings at 1080p. Sure the CPU could be holding back the 1070 which isnt running at the frequency it could reach yet, but 1060 is a lot slower in comparison.
