Hi matterny,
That's not yet a given. And thanks for chiming in. I'm waiting to hear back from my son on exactly which online Games he's looking to play. From there, I'll get consensus from the rest of the guys on this thread who have built many Gaming rigs on what's necessary. Those $600+ GPU cards seem to be the high end 6GB GDDR5 cards. Depending on the Games he chooses, we might be able to go with a 4GB or 5GB GPU card (personally, I'd prefer to use GDDR5 as I read it's the best with DirectX12). If I can get a card for $300-$500 that will play the Games he wants, that would be a little more affordable for him. Of course, if a brand new game comes out in 2017 or 2018 he wants to play--that could be problem. Usually, Gaming systems are designed with the ultimate high end components so they last more than 1 or 2 years on the technology forefront.
Who makes the 1080 or 1070 cards? I'm not that familiar with all the GPU cards out there...
Thanks for you input.
Cheers,
