Hi anyone.

I'm Currently using:
Intel Core i5 6600k (not overclocked yet) with just a Deepcool Gammaxx 400 HSF.
8 GB RAM
Gigabyte Z170-HD3-DDR3
I'm using Enermax Max Pro 600W EMP600AGT PSU inside my rig.

Last thing I don't have is a GPU. I need a recommended GPU for my system I've built for Ultra or High gaming at 768p Resolution. My monitor have max Resolution about 1366x768

Regards.

Dude you sure you had those Rig's and playing at 768??
Go for 1080p.

Anyway whats ur budget for Graphic card.
GPU Ultra or high. GTX 960 should be enough. But, when i see your Rig's its gonna cost a lot.
GTX 970 would be better. If you cannot affford GTX 970.

I would love to suggest you don't GET
1. Skylake (i5-6600k)
2. DDR4 8GB RAM ( DDR 4 is new, it COST WAY TOO MUCH than DDR 3)


Would recommend getting a Z97 with I5-4690k + GTX 970 + 8GB RAM of DDR3.

Would save you some bucks

I'm currently using the DDR3 version of my Mobo for this Skylake CPU.
I'm using skylake now because of looking for no CPU upgrade in the next 2-4 years.

Thanks for the recommendation. :)

If you wanna go low-end and get a great entry-level card, get the GTX 750Ti (OC, or FTW version if you feel froggy)

Otherwise, I'd recommend a GTX 960 but preferrably 970 to go with that setup. It all depends on your budget.
 
With that resolution I would say you ahve two options:
A cheap GPU (will still perform great in that resolution), max a 960 nvidia (I like them over ati since drivers tend to be better).
A good GPu and buy a new monitor/gaming tv later on (Personally I have this with a weak GPU and I like it a lot).

The idea here is to either commit more money to get a very nice gaming expirience, or not overpay for something that wont benefit you much anyway.
Kind Regards,

Question: Why have you bought an i5 6600K for 1366x768 ?

A 270/270X 4GB would be perfect choice your resolution for max settings. Ignore the idiots recommending a 970 for 1366x768, LMAO. You can AT most get a 380 4GB or 960 4GB and be done with it. The 380 is the faster, more efficient card, so keep that in mind.

An equivalent for the 270X would be the 950, but since you can't find it with 4 GBs of VRAM, I advice against it.

It's my 3 years old monitor anyway. First time build a rig again after 5 years. Thx for the advice. Nevermind the others. This is great forum and all of you are great and welcoming a new guy like me. :)
