1050 TI would surely already net you 60 fps at 1080p, 1060 would probabl net you 60 fps at 1440p, 1070 would probably net you like 100 fps at 1440p.

But then again they scale a little with games, i think there's a benchmark coming for 4.0 soon, right? Might be worth holding out for that.

IMO, dropping a mid to high end GPU on an ancient motherboard with a first gen PCI Express x16 slot is not a great idea.

Didn't notice any mention of the motherboard OP is using, I am just assuming is something ok. If not yeah probably change that too, but in the end an H270 comes on the cheap and I don't think we're looking at any overclocking here.

Ok, so taking everything you guys have said into consideration, this is what I'm looking at;

1 × Intel Core i5-7500 3.4 GHz LGA 1151 BX80677I57500 Desktop Processor

1 × ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI DVI M.2 ATX Motherboard with onboard AC Wifi and USB 3.1

1 x XFX Radeon RX 480 DirectX 12 RX480M8BFA6 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

1 x SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E250B/AM


Does this configuration work together?

BTW, this is the other parts of my pc;


1 x Corsair Obsidian Series 650D (CC650DW-1) Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Case

1 x ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

1 x CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

1 x SeaSonic M12II 750 SS-750AM2 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC ...

Thanks all.

I dont think your RAM will work, I believe the MOBO (Motherboard) you have picked only accepts 288-pin while that RAM is a 240-pin. Although you did list a second MOBO down below, on purpose or accident? If that's your old PC then yeah your old MOBO and RAM are happy together of course since that MOBO has 240-pins.

Also I just threw this together so you can have fun with it: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nWqrnn make sure it's accurately picked parts if you're going to rely on it though~ (edit this part list top right of the list).

If you're not going to do any SLI or overclocking you can go for a cheaper motherboard, as for the SSD I would suggest the m.2 version, that's more personal preference, the difference in performance is nearly non existant
