I'm building a new gaming computer on an asus prime z270m plus motherboard. I think I'm going to go with the i5 7600K processor.
I plan on using my 60' LED Samsung smart tv as the monitor. I'm wondering which video card I should go with. the GTX 1070 seems really good though I'm not sure I want to spend $619 Canadian to get one. with that said my motherboard only supports crossfire which I'm not sure if that really matters but with that in mind should I get the gtx 1060, the RX 480 or is there a better suggestion out there?

also does anyone know if Zoltac cards are any good?

For a future Crossfire setup, I'd probably go with an 850 watt PSU from Seasonic, FSP Group, PC Power and Cooling, or Super Flower.

Entirely up to you and your budget. If you're not comfortable spending so much money on a graphics card, how much are you comfortable spending? What is the resolution of your HDTV 1080p, 2K, 4K? The higher the resolution, the better the graphics card you're going to want to get.

Ok so I should be happy if I decide to go with the rx 480?
I'm thinking of going with that one because my motherboard supports crossfire but doesn't support sli.

Do you think a 750 is enough?
I was looking at an evga supernova 750 g1 80 plus gold.
Or should I bump it up higher. I mean I did a check on the pc power calculators online. And with me putting to strix rx 480 plus the rest of my set up it suggested 600 which seemed low to me which is why I started looking at the750

Jeez... so I live far away in the middle of nowhere on a military base in Canada. I asked my mother to go to Canada computers with a list of parts and asked her if she could grab them for me for when I go down and visit and I'll pay her back.

She goes in and the staff leave her standing there for a half hour. Then look at my list of parts and say I don't know what I'm doing and that none of it will work for gaming and if I want to game I need to spend $3,500 in parts. Then said to my mother well if you drive to Toronto there is a store there you can get them cheaper. So she drives to Toronto and gets screwed around and pissed off because the people who own the store wouldn't help her.

All I asked for was -

-rx 480
- Samsun ssd
- wd HDD tb
- 2x 8 gb DDR4
- evga supernova 850 g2 gold certified.
- and a single fan Corsair h60 high performance liquid cooler.
- windows 10 64 bit
- Samsung DVD/cd writer
- i5 7600k

And this jackass tells my mother it won't work and I can't game on that.
