This is my first pc build. I have everything else in the build finalized for the most part. Except for one thing. I am really struggling to pick a graphics card. I am probably going to have a budget of 300 dollars for the card. So I really need help finding the best one because I can not decide on which 1060 to get. Also if you have the time can you put a 1070 in there that is not too expensive because I might have a bit more money.

Here is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nmpCNN

I would get this though.

1. Better case, temperd glass, RGB lighting, More Fans, Sound Damping
2. Better PSU, That PSU was overpriced. Seasonic is better and cheaper. One of the Best PSU for the money.
3. Things have downsides. 8gb DDR4 memory. 16gb is better but 8gb is still Completely fine.
4. Asus Dual GTX 1060 6gb. A GTX 1070 is Overkill for 1080p 60fps. You will be happy with a 1060.
5. Cheaper Mobo. Better quality, much cheaper. MSI Mobos Have a high fail rate.

Hope this helps

My only question is the mobo that you chose. It says that their is a compatiblity error and it says The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated with a SATA M.2 drive, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled. What does that mean?

It means that you might have 6 sata ports and when you put in a M.2 ssd it disables one of the sata ports so you would only have 5. Don’t worry about it.
