Building my computer

[m_ingraham1]

I mainly play PUBG and want a computer that can play this well, my current pc is awful so I'm just going to start from scratch. I am planning on getting an EVGA GTX 1060 6GB. but I'm not sure what the best way to go for a motherboard. My options are: MSI Z270 Gaming M7, MSI B350M TOMAHAWK ARCTIC MOTHERBOARD, EVGA Z270 STINGER MOTHERBOARD (32GB), MSI X299 SLI PLUS MOTHERBOARD. Which one of these would you recommend? The processors I have to choose from is a AMD FX-8370 8-CORE PROCESSOR WITH WRAITH COOLER, or an AMD Ryzen 7 1700. will any of these be compatible with that video card and processor? what would you build to get the most out of the card and processor?
Thank you so much

If these are the only two processors you have to choose from, go with the Ryzen 7 1700 - the 8370 isn't worth considering in 2017. The only motherboard you list that would work with either of the processor you list is the B350M with the Ryzen. Z270 motherboards only run Intel Kaby Lake and Skylake CPUs and the X299 one only runs Intel Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X CPUs.

A much better way to get a recommendation, however, is posting a budget and the things you have/need, and getting a proper build proposal instead of just a small subsection of the parts needed to build a new PC.

And what's this website? We can help you better without being in the dark about your options. Plus, you want to make sure they're not actually charging you de facto interest up front by increasing the base price significantly, as sites that do this tend to do.

I just want a good pc that can run PUBG with at least 60 fps

Ouch, that's a 30% markup on the GPU, a 50% markup on the CPU, and a *100%* markup on the PSU.

But yeah, the parts will work fine, even if the build is a bit unbalanced. You should get the 550W G2, you have zero need for an 850W with this build. But just be aware that the implied interest rate you're paying with these markups over a 26-month payment period is much higher than any credit card would legally allow. It's your money, of course, but I'd be guilty of malpractice if I didn't note this.

i may just save up and buy parts slowly, i already have a 600w psu in my current pc i may just use that

Depends on the quality. I don't mean to stamp down on your dreams or anything, I just want to give you the best advice I can!
