Sir my 1600x + r9 290 can get stable 60 on low settings, which is what you should be using on pubg to see enemies more clearly.

I don't play much games of late, but 60FPS can also be achieved by using lower graphic settings isn't it? It is always good to be able to crank up the graphics to the max, but not everyone have the budget to go for higher end components.
R9 290 is slightly less than a GTX1060
I've done tests on a 950
PUBG vLow = >60fps
PUBG Low - 40 - 60fps
Yes, you can run it at vlow low but the eyecandy is horrible!
What i am saying is to realise cost savings by going used, and increasing the GPU budget into a higher end GPU like a 1060 and above, which produces bucketload of difference
PUBG around SOSNOVKA Military Base using FHD with an I7-4790 + GTX10603gb
Low 80-110fps
Medium 70-90fps
High - 60-75fps
Ultra - 50-60fps
The benchmark is to get at least 60fps With a 1060, i am able to play at Med - High
With Threadstarter's budget of 1.2 - 1.5K,
1070 = 500+ avg 550 used
monitor =$150 to $200
Left $750-$800 for a system which is very doable for an I7 Haswell with an HDD + 8gb ( 16gb and/or SSD if you are lucky )
A 1.2k budget can get a 1060 + monitor + cpu easily
1060 = $260 to $300
monitor =$150 to $200
Left $800 for a system which can have a quad core i7 + hdd + ssd + 16gb ram
Don't get me wrong
Your approach is to sacrifice visual quality to get more CPU horsepower
My approach is to maintain Visual Quality by getting enough CPU Horsepower
as i find it more satisfying to see better eyecandy, than to feel idle threads twiddling thumbs in an unseen corner of my CPU Desktop Chassis..
Key is this weekend
The sales are making nice configurations doable
