I would get a 550w power supply and is this for 1080p?

 

[Stazbumpa]

Can you push to a 1070? I only ask because it'll see you right if you upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the next couple of years. Other than that it looks dandy, although I'd probably look at a 550w PSU but that's just me.

 

[Teifiterror]

1080p gaming, will alter power supply up for 550w version of the superflower. It is for 1080p yes

If you want to save 30 quid on the Graphics card there is an RX480 for 218 quid on ocUK at the moment:

essentially the same performance for a bit cheaper

^ This. If you're not going to be doing 1440p this cycle get the ATI 480, the 4Gb version will probably be all you need anyway. I wouldn't get the reference cooler though, Gigabyte have got a better cooler for the same price.

ARMA3 from what I have seen prefers the 1060 over the 480 othersie I would have likely gone with the Radeon.

Look at this deal, PSU and 1070 for £100 more atm

 

[AdamScott85]

I would stick to Nvidia tbh, I only say this because in my experience I have had less hassle with games using Nvidia and more games come Nvidia ready.

 

[Teifiterror]

Right, altered as had not seen the 1070 deal!

PSU?

 

[Teifiterror]

PSU?

Free one with the GPU

Free one with the GPU

Nicely done, I was impressed enough with the free Paragon stuff

 

[mickyflinn]

Why the founders edition ?

 

[Stazbumpa]

The PSU/Paragon offer I'm guessing. I prefer 3rd party cards myself but it's still an excellent unit.

 

[Teifiterror]

Better PSU and kind of above my original maximum already but worth it
