How good would you rate these specs. I plan to play a couple of games, and if these specs can run minecraft shaders 60 fps, it can run the other ones too.


EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W Continuous Power, 3 Year Warranty Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR


EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card 02G-P4-3753-KR


Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003)


NZXT Phantom 240 Mid Tower Chassis (CA-PH240-W1), white


Corsair Vengeance® LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz (PC4-19200) C14 Memory Kit - Black

Gigabyte ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 Motherboards GA-G1.Sniper B7


Intel Boxed Core I5-6500 FC-LGA14C 3.20 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 (BX80662I56500)


Thanks :)

If your budget is tight, then you may want to drop the CPU down to an i3-6100 so you can put more towards the GPU.

Perhaps an:

i3-6100, and
RX-480 or GTX1060

I don't think prices are yet stable for those so you may want to build the computer, use the iGPU in the CPU for now, then buy the graphics card in a few weeks when prices are closer to MSRP.

Performance comparison:

(benchmark assumes the same CPU, but most games should do quite well with the i3-6100. This is a pretty good comparison)

The GTX750Ti is about 2/3rds of the GTX760 though the GTX750Ti overclocks better than the RX-480 and GTX "10" series cards.

However, the GTX1060 is about 2.5X better than the...

However, the GTX1060 is about 2.5X better than the GTX1060 so roughly 3X faster than the GTX750Ti. The RX-480 is also pretty close.

Summary:
I hope that demonstrates that putting the money towards the GPU might be the best way to go.

What do you estimate the price would be when they drop? My budget is 650, so it'd have to be around 200 bucks (when I downgrade the cpu to the i3). The 1060 is already 300, so it'd have to drop 100. The 480 would be fine, do you think that the 1060 would drop? I am not sure since I don't generally keep up on the latest and greatest graphics cards.

If the prices end up that large, then I'd go with the RX-480 for sure. Ideally the i5-6500 + RX-480.

If you can't afford that then the i3-6100 + RX-480.

(not the reference model. perhaps something like an Asus Strix 4GB with more than a single 6-pin PCIe connector)

See the benchmark I linked above.

Or, should I get the 970? I was thinking, the 1070 and 1060 are so much better than the 970 that there is no possible way that it would be lower than the price in that. Since my budget is $200..
