Your looking at a $800+ of parts to be able to use that card at its potential.

>cheap
>good
Pick one.

>>376935913
>http://www.logicalincrements.com/
stop with this shit, the guys that choose the parts are fucking retards

>>376936349
>retard asks for advice
>give him advice made by retards
Don't see the problem.

Also even if its made by retards the parts still work and you still get a computer in the end.

>>376935628
>cheap but good
You're going to have to be more specific on your budget. $500? $800?
Can't help until then.

>>376935628
go to pcpartpicker and look at other people's builds with that card

>>376935628
Your friend hooked you up with a great card, the problem is now you have to build around it. For the prices everyone will want for one-two year old hardware, you're better off building a 2017 system. Which will eventually lead to you buying a 1080ti.

>>376935628
Ryzen 1400/1500/1600, 8-16gb ram, evga 500-550w, cheapest b350 mobo and any cheap case will do fine

>>376937034
Don't fall for the Ryzen meme.
Never ever buy AMD.

>>376936543
what's wrong with the OP asking for help to build a pc?
I'm also someone who wants to build a pc but it's intimidating if you're not very knowledgeable about hardware.

>>376935628
Get a Ryzen 1600, a cheap mobo that works, the highest clocked cheapest ddr4 ram you can find, and a case that appeals to you.

>Hurr waste more money on worst parts because reasons

>>376937531
well the sperg got mad by this site
http://www.logicalincrements.com/
because they recommend AMD products, which are cheaper and perform well for standard computer uses but in gaming Nvida and Intel are superior. (Nvida sabotages games so AMD runs poorly)

just buy some 200-300 burger price range CPU and dirt cheap mobo
500-600w PSU and strap this shit on top is what I would do if I get free 980ti

>>376938025
You are right, which is why he should get the 1600 and not the 7600.

>>376938195
Of course by you are right I mean you are right, CPU bottlenecks do exist, so he should get the better CPU.

>>376938171
dont listen to this guy

>dirt cheap mobo
Fuck no.

Works fine here. CPU + motherboard were like $100 together at Micro Center.

Don't do this OP. You would be throwing away money on nothing.

>>376938473
>G3258
There's a reason it's dirt cheap. 2c/2t is basically 2008 tier.

Obv not a G3258 but you can get a newer Pentium for the same price. This was like 3 years ago.

And you can always buy a new i7 later when you aren't poor.

people buy i7 2c/2t gaymen laptops all the time, depends on what games you're playing but for 99% it's fine

>>376939175
2c/4t*

>>376939175
And gayman laptops are a joke.

4 threads is minimum these days. Also, this shit looks GPU-limited. What did they use?

it's like most games are GPU bound or something

>>376938950
higher end build that isn't sacrificing much. If you're going to go full tower then why not go for the options that cater towards sli. Show me some recent issues with fsp power supplies.

>>376939379
... up to a point. At higher framerates, you're back on the CPU.

And when you can't even reach 60fps on 1600p, it's time for a better GPU. Because mine can, and it's not even highend.

>>376939587
OP can't afford a tower, (s)he probably isn't trying to do 4K60 gaymen

>>376939586
>higher end build that isn't sacrificing much.
It's an additional $100 for no advantage in gaming.
> If you're going to go full tower then why not go for the options that cater towards sli.
See above, except $50. SLI would cost him a ton in the first place.
>Show me some recent issues with fsp power supplies.
Google the jonnyguru review yourself. Shit regulation, mediocre ripple, capxon capacitors, regulation out of spec during crossloads, and guess what the leadex II based G3 that shits all over the NEX costs what, ten bucks more?

>>376939762
yeah g2/3 are superior than nex, should use that instead. I figured that if he wanted to go all out then he might as well go 1700 + future sli. If it's only gaming then an itx case + sf600 would be more efficient.
