I am building a new gaming PC, and I am stuck deciding between the MSI GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC and MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X.

So which one do you guys recommend? And if there is a better card in this range please let me know.

Thanks

If you using it for 1080p a 1070 will be way more than you need unless it is 144hz. Neither card is that good for 4k and if you are not planning on running that resolution for a few years you would probably bet better off saying some money with the 1070 then upgrading if/when you get a new monitor.

Right now, I am only looking to play games in 1920x1080. But I am thinking maybe in a year or so 1920x1080 might become a thing of the past and 1440p and 4K will be the norm. That is the reason I am looking at GTX 1080s. I was wordering whether MSI GTX 1080 Armor OC's increase in performance compared to MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X is enough to justify its higher price tag?
