For 750 youll be part of no master race bud, maybe the lower castes thats not allowed to look the master race in the eye.  

You could Get a pro and probably some 20 awesome games.  

Anyone who owns a PC is part of the Master Race.

I spent $2600 on my new PC, and i can barely play Star Citizen at a good framerate at 4k haha. (Bad optimization)

Nah. True 4k with all the details on max is just that demanding. Remember, the Playstation 4 Pro isn't doing true 4k.

Volta should bring 4k to high-end builds, right now it's exclusive to Enthusiast builds.

Go with the 1060 if you wish to fit in your budget and if you are only gaming at 1080P.

Then in a few years, just drop in a new GPU and you are back to gaming at max settings again.

It's nice to see that the people trying to convince OP he needs to spend $500 to get a decent GPU are getting btfo. I've seen vgchartz convince people to buy macbook pros as pure gaming systems, so I always worry when I see threads like this.

A 1070 is more than enough. Even a 1060 will be absolutely fine. A low end i5 or even a high end i3 will be fine for your CPU. Logical increments has recommended parts for pretty much any budget you have, and there's a build there for a $754 system:

For a gaming rig, that you wish to keep around for years... I wouldn't settle for anything less than a Core i5 quaddy/AMD equivalent.

You are correct that for most... A Geforce 1060 is more than enough for 1080P gaming... I always gawk when people think you need a Geforce 1080.

dont get WD blue. Get WD black.

Western Digital Blue is fine. Saving a few bucks by going with a cheaper mechanical drive and sinking more money into the SSD/CPU/GPU is far better IMHO.

I really want to thank you all for coming here and helping me figure out what the best build for me would be, and throwing in some very helpful suggestions as far as alternate parts I could get, or how to get a little more bang for the buck if I was willing to drop a little more. Here is what I did purchase, drum roll please!!!!!

paid $1090 take home, which yes is a bit more than I budgeted.... Oh well, I get paid tomorrow.

Essentailly I know I might have been able to get some better parts cheaper, but I looked into returns and warranties. I wanted something I know I could take back if something was broken. Anyways, for better or worse my very 1st gaming pc, and maybe I'll learn a little (make that LOT) more about pc pieces in the future.

Solid rig. You should get years of enjoyment out of it.

Welcome to the PC Gaming Master race, may all your games be good ones.

Thank you!
