Upgrading my Pc

[noxinum]

I'd like to know what motherboard and CPU are the best or optimal for the 1070

My cpu: FX 6300
My MB: GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 1.0)

Thanks

I have a budget of around 800-1000 euros but I'd still like to keep it to the minimum tho

If you are talking about GTX 1070, than it depends on your monitor:
1080p@60Hz - > you don't need GTX 1070, GTX 1060 will be fine.
1080p@144-200Hz -> i7
1440p or higher resolution monitor -> your CPU is mostly fine for now.

I've got two monitors, both are the same and it's: ASUS VN247H in which the refresh rate is 60Hz

Are you gaming on them simultaneously ?
If only on one of them, GTX 1060 is still much more practical choice.

 

[noxinum]

only on one of them, I don't think on both it would look so good, tho I might try it one day

Gaming on two monitors is annoying as you have this bezel in the middle.
As i already said above, if you are not planning on upgrading your monitor/monitors anytime soon, get GTX 1060 - it will be perfect with your monitors and CPU for the near future.
GTX 1070 will be wasted as it's intended for much more higher refresh rates or higher resolutions.

ye exactly hahaha so I don't need to upgrade my cpu or motherboard?

 

[n0ns3ns3]

Need - no
want - may be 😉

 

[noxinum]

I do want to tho, they have 2 years they have no problem, just want to avoid any tho ahhaa, what would you recommend ?

 

[n0ns3ns3]

I'd say get GTX 1060 and enjoy
This winter both AMD and Intel are releasing new CPUs - might be something interesting.
I'm personally not going to upgrade (unless my computer dies ) until the Optane from intel will be available.

 

[noxinum]

oh nice will wait for them then 😛 thanks a lot!

 

[n0ns3ns3]

you are mostly welcome

 

[noxinum]

now the question is which cooler I should chose for the GPU

 

[n0ns3ns3]

eeeem ...
open/axial one
Personally, i'd get the cheapest card available from a decent manufacturer EVGA > ASUS/Zotac > Gigabyte (in this exact order).
EVGA GTX 1060 SC Gaming or EVGA GTX 1060 Gaming or Zotac GTX 1060 Mini would be in the top of my list

 

[noxinum]

but it being mini, won't it overheat?

 

[n0ns3ns3]

nope.
Pascal cards run very cool.
