A new PC set needed

[Duc]

Hi guys gaming world is getting back to me since I have some freetime ahead, not to mention they’re about to publish Starcraft remastered.

I got a bout $500-700 humm. My graphic card should be GTX1050Ti or GTX1060 (still wondering). The thing is, that’s all I know about the set. My previous set, which has a GTX760, was built by my brother lol.

It would be awesome if you guys can recommend me some set worth the bucks. I can consider paying more, if needed. thanks bru

This is a $700 GTX1060 build I’m considering I might use as a base build for a friend.

Thanks, that’s informative. I’m aiming for this $600 set

It plugs in with GTX1060 but just a thing, it goes with i3 core processor. On this site they also have the $700 set that goes with i5-7400, seems better (as I don’t know if it’s good). Would an extra $100 be worth it?

when building a pc, build it around the processor first, gpu second, all else third. so go for the i5 or shop around for an i7-i9 if you can.  a low performing cpu will hinder your gpu to the point you would be better off with a lower end gpu.

Yes I think i5 would be my gig since it’s no need for i7 for gaming said here https://www.bit-tech.net/news/tech/graphics/core-i7-waste-of-money-says-nvidia/1/

I’ve already made the purchase for the $700 set here https://thegreatsetup.com/builds/ . It has GTX1060, which I like, plugged in with i5-7400 processor. On that list, I just only got a 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD instead of just 2TB HDD.

Thanks 😉

I went with a i5-6600K with my new build last year and kind of have regrets for not going i7. I kind of got a little unlucky with overclocking as it isn’t stable above 3.9 ghz. That’s just me though… if you are looking to cut/keep cost down an i5 is a great option. I am not a fan of AMD procs for gaming these days. SSD is def a nice performance improvement but 128 gb might be kind of small – once you get one you won’t want to go back.

It’s true, the system runs on SSD better than any of my previous set. But I’ll just use the SSD for the windows only, won’t set any games up in that disk because of that reason you mentioned: once you get one you won’t want to go back.

I’m reading stuff about the processor Xeon now … it has its good comments though

I may be to late But I recently built a new computer around one of AMDs  new Ryzen 7s and am very happy with it.

I still need a graphics card to go with it though I was trying to figure where in the hell you could get a gtx 1060 for that price before I realized its us dollars. I hate exchange rates!
