Yeah, the monitor you'll be gaming on determines the video card.
Here's a build that is best bang for your buck and will play on a 1920x1080 monitor with no problem. Configuration Code: 1603151 Total Price with Instant Savings: $1,717.00 Direct Load URL: https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1603151 Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Digital Storm VANQUISH 5 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz (Codename Kaby Lake) (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) <br><strong></strong> Motherboard: ASUS/MSI (Intel Z270 Chipset) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 750W EVGA/Corsair Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) (Internal) Storage Set 1: 1x SSD (480GB Digital Storm Performance Series) <br><strong></strong> Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (1TB Western Digital - Black Edition) <br><strong></strong> Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce GTX 1070 8GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: High Performance Cooler with Large Fan and Copper Pipes HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow) Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled LED Lighting System (Multiple color options and lighting effects) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclocking Boost Graphics Card(s): - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Factory Reset Feature (Restore Windows + Drivers) (Partition up to 50GB of Storage) Virus Protection: FREE: McAfee AntiVirus Plus (1 Year Service Activation Card) (Not Pre-installed) ($35 Value) Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 15-20 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) If you're willing to spend another $400 or so we can show you an Apollo level 2 build with a better power supply and a choice of motherboard but with DS limiting video card and SSD selections lately it becomes less cost effective. Hope this helps and let us know what you think. |

Going with the level 4, Ultimate, Vanquish is still well within your budget. It does give you the gtx 1080 and the liquid cooling, but the 1070 is all you need for 1080p screen and unless you're overclocking the CPU then the air cooler is fine plus super reliable with nothing to go wrong.
Nothing wrong with going gtx 1080, just not needed right now. Can't predict future games or if you want to go 1440p screen. I'd grab the Best level 3 but up to you. Everything is installed. They might not be the latest drivers, they are released pretty regular, but in most cases, the latest drivers aren't needed, plus it's easy enough to update drivers.

if you're looking for pre-built with limited customization, try the Vanquish line. any of them can handle 1080p just fine. of course, the higher the model, the better the performance and more bling you can turn on in your game settings. my son has a 1060 in his rig gaming on a 1080p 120Hz monitor with a second monitor for web surfing and does just fine. in fact, a 1080 is overkill for 1080p.
i'd say the level 2/"better" model is the best bang for buck at 1080p. the cpu isn't unlocked for overclocking but it boosts up to 4.2GHz, which is plenty fast. Edited by db188 - 02 Feb 2017 at 5:45am |
