Build for 1080p 60 fps ultra graphics

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Build for my brother he wants to pull the trigger by next week, budget is around £1000 he can go more if necessary to guarantee 60 fps at 1080p for the next few years

He will play destiny 2 and WOW mainly and some upcoming releases, he just wants to play any game at 60 fps on high graphics

Just the tower will be needed and windows is already taken care of

I was thinking a ryzen 5 with a GTX 1060 but I'm not an expert and could use some build advice

Read the 1st line of the op's post Also my spec has an SSD.

Here is something just to give you an idea.


If he prefers Nvidia then a 1070 ti is about the same price.

Obviously case choice is personal so he might want something different/better etc.


My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Bundle - AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Asus X370-F Strix, Team Group RAM *FREE 240GB SSD* *ONLINE ONLY* = £428.96
  • Memory Capacity:Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30
• 1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX VEGA 64 WindForce OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £398.99
• 1 x Corsair RMx 750w 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply (CP-9020179-UK)= £84.95

Total: £1,014.48 (includes shipping: £12.60)

Looks good, I guess as well he can upgrade the monitor to a 144 hertz with that graphics card as well in the future and there shouldnt be any problems

Hi

Is the monitor a standard 60Hz ? Or Freesync/G-Sync etc ?

Yes it's a standard 60 Hz monitor, he is thinking of upgrading that as well but it's not the priority at the moment

I feel like the Vega 64 is overkill for 1080p 60fps. He should probably get the RX 590 on special if there are any left, and an SSD especially when playing Destiny 2.

Yeah it's a little bit better than the 1060 and it comes with those 3 free games which is a steal

Thanks everyone for the help, I passed this along to him and he decided to just go with an RX 590 and save some money for future upgrades

Once he can get 60 fps 1080p for the foreseeable future he is satisfied

I think he will upgrade to a 144hz screen later on but for now was happy with 60 fps
