Help with Choosing GPU.

[wookloaf]

Hello everyone.I'm new here.

I'm currently in the process of building myself a PC, with Battlefield 5 on the horizon i'm getting anxious to have a PC that will be able to handle it at Max settings holding decent frames. 

Now I already got excited and bought myself a Ryzen7 1800x CPU, as a starting point (it was on sale for half price, couldn't resist). Now from my limited amount of knowledge, as I understand it, pairing that with a GTX 1060 could create a bottleneck to an extent.

So my question is, am I correct in assuming this? Should I be considering a more powerful card like a GTX 1070ti, or a Vega 64? (is that overkill?) 

 

Any advice from people more experienced than myself is welcome.

 

Thanks.

wait for RTX turing

With a 1060/580 the bottleneck is going to be the GPU, not the CPU. Some will tell you to wait for Nvidias new RTX cards, but I doubt there will be any real gains for the 1060/580 price bracket.

a gtx 1070 would be more than enough

Currently using a 1080p 60hz basic panel, would like to upgrade to a 1440x2560 144hz panel soon however.
