[jamestanws]

Hi please advise on the spec needed to bulit a CPU for NBA2K17.

errm by cpu definition u mean only the CPU (i3,i5,i7) or the entire thing? i am assuming the latter.

u can't say that the cheaper the better. u need graphics expectation, budget, whether u need wifi etc.

what monitor are u using? do u need a joypad or playing with keyboard? need more specifics.

I think it's doable. It's about expectations and how long before the PC gets outdated against future games.

Just a few more questions:
Do u need Wi-Fi? Or are u using lan cables?
What resolution is your monitor?

will the 300w psu be enough? i went to see and the recommended for gtx 1060 is like 400 sia. and yea, that mobo is better than the one i recommended.

well that one they give a bit of leeway with gpu and i5 or i7 OC verison would really need that many, but i3 and with those parts + gpu shouldn't use up to 250w, maybe max 230w.
