GTX 1060 Setup vs GTX 1070 (graphics card only)

[Kim_24]

I was planning to build a Gaming PC this august or september i think but I only have 400$ budget and but I already have a processor. If I buy a gtx 1060 6gb plus some components, I might have a Full PC. If I buy the gtx 1070 then i would need to wait for another 5 months before having the full build. any suggestions?

Your display resolution will determine which card you should buy.

1920x1080 or 1920 x 1200 / GTX1060
2560x1440 / GTX1070

Save the money, for that time, you will notice news about Pascal (new graphics technology by NVidia) and maybe you can affort one or buy cheap the GTX 1060/1070.

Rather go for the 1060 and use extra money to buy a SSD. It would make a bigger difference in general usage than a 1070 would compared to a 1060

Do not buy al 1060 or a 1070 right now. The prices are sky high with the mining craze going on right now. At my local microcenter, you can buy a 1080 cheaper than you can buy a 1070. This is the worst time ever to buy a GPU.

Will the mining craze be over this year?

It's really hard to predict. I know Ethereum has been dropping lately, so that's a promising sign. I personally hope the entire cryptomining thing completely crashes so us normal folk can actually be able to buy cards again... lol
