You'd be better off dropping to a 1060 though imo, & upping the quality of the board & getting an ssd in there.

 

[Rethus4]

Thanks for the reply. Do you think you can make one for £650

 

[madmatt30]

The only way you'd do that is dropping to an i3 6100.

 

[Rethus4]

Would that be a bottleneck to the gtx 1070

 

[madmatt30]

Not really no, most current titles only use 2 or 3 threads & the 6100's hyper threading works well in the majority of cases.

Just when people have the budget for a 1070 they would normally stump the extra for an i5.

Its just not a combo you'll see used that often in all honesty as it goes.

What's the absolute reason for the 1070 ??
You do realise its complete overkill unless you're running a 1440p+ screen.

 

[Rethus4]

■ I have a 1440p monitor which is why I need the gtx 1070. So the i3 6100 won't bottle kneck the gtx 1070 and it would work properly

 

[madmatt30]

At 1440p yes absolutely , I'd take an i3+1070 over i5+1060 any day of the week

Okay thank you
