Hey Guys!
I have a litte problem.. after 2weeks of research i dont know what gaming setup to buy/build. I´m a total beginner on the building site..

Preferably i want the graphite 380ti case or the corsair air 240 if they are futureproof.

But here comes my problem i can´t afford to spend more than 1500€ on the rig and monitor atm..

so what i should i do in your opinion?
1080p 60fps on 60hz monitor - 1080p xxx.fps on 144hz monitor (all this with max settings in mind)

i want to buy a really good monitor in 1-2years with g-sync (if not outdated)

what can i get in my price range? and what can i do for possible future upgrades?

P.s. I live in Europe, Austria if that helps!

Thanks for everything in advance!

1500 euros for a pc+monitor setup is a really tight budget. If I were you I'd consider a cheaper case, something like the Corsair 200r, get a good motherboard like the Gigabyte Z170x-UD3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128840) and pair it with an i3. Kaby lake uses the same socket type so you have a machine good enough for the next 2 years or so.

alright alright it´s like i thought it would kill my overall performance very much :/
maybe i can get 100-200€ more out in the next weeks..

what could i consider then? is the rx 480 really the better choice against a 1060 or probably a gtx 1070?
and am i right when i think my best bet is to get a 144hz monitor and look what fps i get as you listed it above?

thanks for the fast and helpful answers! you are an awesome community!

The 6GB is just a little better than the 8GB 480 but performance is really close. I felt like the 480 was a better deal in this case.

I left room in your budget for keyboard, mouse, etc...

If you have extra money to spend, I would look at the GTX1070.

Yes 144hz is what you should probably get at your budget.
