Minimum gpu / cpu

Mikey360 · 13 Jul 2021 at 22:05

Looking to build a rig that won't break the bank to play the likes of wow, cod, valorant etc at high setting. Wondering what the minimum gpu / cpu you'd recommend? I was looking at 3070ti but just wondering if that's overkill for a casual gamer like me

Probably overkill, but what resolution and version of cod?

Newest version and pref 1080p?

1080p would make the 3070 Ti overkill, a 3060 would do the job. But, keep in mind that if you always want to play the latest version of cod (or other AAA shooters) or if you upgrade your monitor, it won't be gentle on your wallet anymore.

I haven't got my monitor or anything yet either. So a 3060.. probably like 200 cheaper than the 3070ti

The minimum I'd go to is a 3060ti, 3060 is quite a bit behind.
