Looking for some good advice.

MrGoodGame · Jun 25, 2017

I am building my first real gaming PC in the next week or so. I have a white build theme going right now and I am trying to keep in under $1200 (can go over a little but no more than $1250). I have everything but a GPU as of now. (The rise in GPU prices have messed up my budgeting a lot) I will post a link below with my current build thus far excluding the visual stuff. (RGB lighting; hince why I did an all white build) I am not very knowledgeable on all the parts and what will go well together. Any advise is helpful and welcome! Thanks.
P.S. (Looking at a 1050ti or a 980ti for the GPU Just not sure what is the best idea for price yet.)
P.P.S (Right now I have about 150 to 200 USD for a GPU.)

Nice build, mate. A GTX 1060 will be good for the money. It will handle all the games.

link gives total price of 826 without OS, most forget that you would need that too unless you go for free Linux.
Also link didn't pick a price for your SSD due to pcpartpicker not finding any for sale or.. something.

Also on VR, I would presonally wait for two reasons.. while 980 might be just about enough to drive it, the VR setup costs another 500+ going over your budget.
also on price/future budget, 1070 is tiny bit slower than 980TI but... price of 450 vs 600 speaks for itself. (yes, 980TI's are expensive due to out of production and rarity)
1070 will be enough for 1080P gaming though. both parts are out of your 200 USD budget though.

so.. Budget says.. get 1050TI, forget VR for now and.. upgrade GPU/VR later.

Edit: No idea why I thought you were asking about VR... disregard those parts.

I have windows 10 already set aside that i got from Kingun and iv factored a 144hz monitor price into it as well.
i found a 1050 ti for $150 and it is white to go with the build i will just up grade later when i have the chance.

I think a 1060 will be alright for VR. For the money it is capable for VR. You should get a 1060 for VR, plus on your Z270 motherboard, you can easily overclock the GTX 1060 and I've read an article which shows that 1060 was getting more fps on games than the RX 480, so I think GTX 1060 is a good choice. However, all is up to you, friend

I am not looking towards VR at the moment so to speak. (it isn't a top priority of mine at least i just want a gaming computer that isn't gonna give me any troubles.) Also i'm not gonna be playing too many AAA games mostly like (League of Legends maybe GTA V, Rainbow 6 Siege) I just don't want any components to not interact well with one another.

But 1060 will react well to all the components in your build, so that is why I recommended 1060, plus on GTA V, 1060 has shown impressive benchmarks. It is your wish though.
