Hello I'm building up new PC with 6600k i5 and im looking for some help with graphic card and display. Originally i was looking for 1060 gtx msi gaming x but i dont think that its gonna be a good deal. Also display, I have no idea which one will be good for games like cs or battlefield in range of 200 dollars 24 Inches.

If you are planning on buying both GPU and Monitor I'd say go with 480 with a freesync monitor. If you aren't getting new monitor either 480 or 1060 are fine. How much are you planning on spending on both monitor and GPU?

I decided to buy 1070 graphic (cheaper one because as far as I can see there is no difference in performance like 1 or 2 FPS, I will overclock it anyways) and I wanna spend maximum 200 dollars - the us ones :) on display.

Well 6ms is too much for CS:GO I will be swearing a lot :D But anyways I can't open it, link doesn't work when i wanna see the deal. Would you recommend this one to me? http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/247E6EDAW_00/lcd-monitor-with-softblue-technology

I also asked about 1070 card. Which one will be the best for me, I mean I dont really wanna spend so much for MSI GAMING X version just because it looks cool. The most important issue for me is which one has good money for value and I will be able to overclock to get the same performance and how different is performance of MSI GAMING X from cheaper 1070 is it noticeable difference?


Anyways, I created another Thread about GTX, here I'd like to get some recommendation for display.

This is exactly my advice, too. Because it's what I did. I bought a Freesync monitor and a 480 8gb.0++

Gaming on a Freesync (or Gsync) monitor is just great and you can (generally) game at lower fps and still have a smooth, enjoyable experience. Gsync monitors are $150-300 more than a comparable Freesync monitor and just aren't worth it at all.

I like adaptive sync so much that if AMD had Vega out and could compete with the 1070 or 1080 then I would see no reason to ever get an nVidia card.
