Pleb here
Currently got a 770, 8 gigs of RAM and an i72600k (yeah I know)
Which of these 1070's would give me the best value for my money/future proof etc

ASUS cards have become pretty fucking awful over the past few years.
I'd either get a MSI gaming x or Gigabyte G1, probably the MSI bc dat twinfrozr design.

>and an i72600k (yeah I know)
what are you implying?
2600k is an awesome cpu
>>56158872
>>56158516
adding onto that, if gaming at 120/144hz i'd look into upgrading your CPU.
>>56158516
I'd go for the MSI one or if you can get the Gaming Palit one this one here

higher monitor hz gaming requires more CPU power
older CPUs tend to bottleneck more powerful GPUs in this case.

if a 4690k is struggling, a 6600k would hardly do any better. this is i7 territory at this point.
>>56158976
you're right, i forgot to mention that too
>>56158883
I've been told that an older CPU might bottleneck me a bit
I'm not planning on gaming at a higher monitor hz if that makes any difference
>>56159131
then you'll be perfectly fine at 60hz, no need to upgrade in that case.
thanks fellas
