Is this any good for 1080p gaming guys?

[Bone9]

Would you change anything?

I would think about Ryzen.

Plus a cheaper case maybe so you could get a GTX1080 and smash 1080+1440p gaming.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Thanks, this is for a friend's son who is looking at starting pc gaming. They will be using a 1080p tv so that's the highest res they will ever use.

You could probably drop to a B350 board and 550w PSU as what are the chances of them doing SLI?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Black Edition 8192MB GDDR5 *£25 CASHBACK* PCI-Express Graphi= £359.99

​

 

[stulid]

Reason I ignore the older EVGA range is because of the VRM cooling issue.

 

[Bone9]

Cheers guys, looks decent.

 

[mickyflinn]

The evga cashback has closed i just checked it was the end of april.

https://eu.evga.com/articles/01095/cashback-on-evga-geforce-gtx-1070-or-1080-graphics-cards/

Reason I ignore the older EVGA range is because of the VRM cooling issue.

Are they still selling older cards with vrm cooling problems ?

 

[stulid]

You would hope they would be fixed but who knows how long the stock has been on the shelves.

 

[Disco_P]

The vrm issue is way overblown and won't have a significant impact on product lifespan.

If you want to save more money then the Phanteks tc14pe is £45.

And I cannot recommend nvme ssds for anything other than the form factor. You just don't notice a difference.

Thanks guys.
