I'm looking to build a cheapest CPU with 1070GPU for playing pubg. Don't need overclocking, water cooling or fanciful rgb.
Tried going to a LAN that is using 1060 & it's laggy even at medium gameplay mode so looking at 1070. Inexperienced in diy set up so preferred stores to get the items will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

With the recent Cryptocurrency surge, causing GPU prices to raise significantly, I suggest you look into PC Boutiques for purchasing of a new PC.

I do not recommend going to SLS and DIY assembling a new PC without much experience.

Check out Typhoon Systems, Dreamcore and Aftershock for their services.

Their premium service prices are negated by the high cost of GPU in DIY market at the moment.

Do note a few things,

New AMD CPUs will be launching next month for desktop
Rumored New nVidia GPUs code named Ampere will be announced in April.

That lan shop is as poorly optimised as PUBG was in the early days
Currently

With rough calculations
1050TI can play PUBG nicely $300- $350
1060 will give you MED HIGH ULTRA smooth $400-$600
1070TI will give you maxed at 19201080 = $800 - $900

Calculate the rest into your components and you ought to be able to get a rough idea of the price

PUBG is horribly unoptimized. You need a good CPU and a good GPU and 16GB RAM.

not necessarily true

passmark of >5000 CPU required
GPU min 950 for 60fps @1920x1080

Tried and tested


Anything less means downrez

Been testing PUBG
950 960 970 980
1050 1050TI 10603 10606 1070 1070TI 1080 1080TI

With theoptimisations done last year, the requirements dropped.

Just 2 questions:
1. Get AMD Ryzen or i5?
2. 1070 TI or 1080? Realised 1080 price is pretty close to 1070 TI as compared to 1080 TI.

Sure, they do
But question is whether you are willing to pay the Mining tax or wait for them

For regular priced items from your sources.
Buyer: " Got stock of GTX 1070"
Shop: " Sure, we sell to you $xyz "
Buyer pays up
Shop: " Ok. Order confirmed. it will take x weeks to arrive ( Means shop put you on long waiting queue coz there are plenty of others with money in their fists waiting for GTX 10606gb / 1070 / 1070TI / 1080TI "

Wait for CNY Lagi Better

i'm sure alot will suddenly " pop up "

BUT

Must also give ANG POW to them

Make sure to receive 2x oranges from them too.

Its not all doom and gloom

Tip
If you are looking at pricelist, factor in ASUS prices.
If you are willing to pay ASUS tax, you are most probably in the right frame of mind to get what you want ( coz tons of miners don't want to pay Asus tax )

STRIX version is a confirmed certainty. lol

If you are only willing to pay for cheapest option, don't waste time grabbing it, or be prepared to wait
