Zotac 1060gtx 3gb mini with i5 7th gen and 8 gb ddr3 ram

[Prashant_44]

I want to configure a low budget pc for gaming so i am planning assemble zotac 1060gtx 3gb mini with i5 7th gen and 8 gb ddr3 ram.
Is it enough to play modern AAA games at 1080 ??
I cant spend more than this ,so should i go for it or no?
Can i have good fps with this configration ?

check the prices of RX 580 4GB or even RX 570 4GB - it should be very close in price and yet perform better.

Ditto, the RX 580 Gaming 4GB from Gigabyte is $198 on Newegg I believe and performs on par with a 1060 6GB.
A Ryzen 1500X and B350 motherboard would also be a better pairing.
Try to put it with decently priced higher frequency RAM.

Agreed with both above. RX 580 is a much better choice over the 3GB 1060. Other than that i would also opt for a Ryzen 5 1500/1500X/1600 with a B350 Motherboard and DDR4 RAM. If you want to strictly stick with Intel for some reason, get the i5-7500 and DDR4 not DDR3 but the Ryzen is a better combo for sure. Hope this helps

$167.20 for an EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3GB. No rebate involved. That's considerably lower than any RX 570 or RX 580 at Newegg or Amazon. There are a few new AAA games where the 3GB of VRAM would be an issue, but for the most part you'll be fine @ 1080P.

Other stores have plenty of aftermarket 570's at or within $10 of that.

That's an insanely cheap GTX 1060 3GB (it even states it was originally 189.99$). For that price, it's probably worth it (despite it being a single fan solution).
