Hello everyone!!
So, I decided to build my first pc, I'd really like some advises though, especially for the graphics card, where I am being torn apart..
I want the pc mostly for gaming, also mild design (nothing serious, I'm still an amateur) and basic music recording/editing (soundcard incoming next year) but I could live without the last two. As for games, I don't "demand" ultra graphics, 4k vr and such but I would absolutely love being able to play new games (witcher 3, doom 4, dishonored 2 etc), and of course modded skyrim, decently and neat.
Also, I will be overclocking the system (nothing extreme though) so I want it to handle that as well.
Now, at the specs!
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-03 (€75) or Aerocool Aero 500 (€41)
Whichever case I choose, I will fill it up with fans.
CPU: Intel i5 6600k 3.5 Ghz (€265)
CPU cooler: Coolermaster HyperX 212X (€41)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z170-SLI (€148)
RAM: 3x Kingston HyperX Fury 4gb (€69)
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 120 gb (€74)
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB (€60)
PSU: Coolermaster B700 Version 2 (€73)
UPS: Bitmore U850VA (€65)
Monitor: Samsung S22F350FHU 22" (€120)
And, now the gpu issue..
I want to have a gpu that will be able to handle games as I mentioned above for at least two years more. Then, I'm planning on upgrading in a new gpu (or SLIing) since until then it will be knownif dx12 or vulkan indeed succeed in the game world.
As for now, I can't decide what to buy. I can find the gtx 1060 with 3gbs at 230 up to 280 euros (depending on the version). If I choose the 6gb version, price range starts at 297 up to 388 euros (depending on the version), a hurting price. I'd like to know if the 3gb versions could handle these games.
And then, it is the gtx 970 at price range 288-370 (depending on the version as well), which is an SLI-able card.
Cards like 980, 1070 and up, starts at 400 euros and I really cannot afford that much.
Also, I'm open to any other similar gpu suggestion.
Anyway, every response and help will be really appreciated!! Thanks in advance! (and sorry for the long post)
Have a great day!
