For 1080P gaming. A Geforce 1050, Core i5, 16GB Ram is fine.

If you wish for Ultra settings, 1080P, 60fps, Anti-Aliasing. Then step it up to the Geforce 1060. You don't need to spend a ton of cash on hardware if you are only gaming at 1080P.

Is an i5 even viable anymore now that there is Ryzen?

 

i have an i5 4690k overclocked at 4589 mHZ stable and consistant. NO power saving mode. so its always on turbo 24/7 OC'd.

 

I forgot when i built my rig? 3-4 years ago? i dunno. but with my speeds ryzen 5 doesn't seem that great.  Maybe im just lucky and got a super godly chip because it overclocks so well?

my cpu costs only 250 canadian right now too!

 

side Note: my R9 390 8G used to hit 85 degrees on full load. After artic silver 5 thermal paste its now maxing out at 74C and its usually on most games 61C.  Idle 41C.  Pretty good stuff that artic silver.

So my tip is artic silver 5 paste and redo any cpu or card you get before you even put it on.  Stock paste from manufactures seems to ALWAYS SUCK. maybe they apply it to fast with a machine or rushed employee
