A Guide On The Perfect Gaming Setup For 2018 (Graphics Card, Processor, and RAM)

Greetings,I would like to share with the community the Processor the Graphics Card and the amount of RAM that I think its the "best" for 2018.

But let's define this "best" first.
For me "best" means that:
-The setup is able to run any of the current games on high-maximum settings while having 60FPS+
-The setup is as cheap as possible while meeting the requirementspecified above.
{Please note that this is purely my opinion}

Now, let's get to the actual setup.


Graphics Card
Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
I think that the GTX 1060-6GB is a wonderful card that can hold any 2018 game.
Plus you can pick it up for 400$ making it a really great performance-value card. If 60 FPS is not enough for you I suggest going for the GTX 1070

Processor
I7-7700k - 4.20 Ghz
I think that this processor is more than enough for 2018. And also you can pick it up for a relativelylow price of 300-400 dollars.

Amount of RAM

8GB-ddr4
I think that this is enough RAM for gaming, please note that I suggest going for 16GB if you want to edit videos.

Keep in mind that once all the cryptofags all hang themselves the GPU prices will drop back to normal. 400$ is quite overpriced. And don't underestimate AMD, they're making a huge comeback with the Vega series.
Also, 8GB is like the minimum for gaming now. Give it a 16GB.
The CPU can be swapped out for almost anything tbh, it's not that important. AMD FX8350 is an 8 core 4.0gHz that's a lot cheaper, uses an AM3 socket, and can easily be overclocked to 4.2GHz just like that Intel. Oh, and doesn't have the turbo boost meme.

I agree it's not the best time to build a pc right now because the graphics cardsare really expensive right now.

1- Please use a less eyesoring fomat

2- As stated the best way is not to buy a pc at the moment, gpu prices are ridiculously high. Also it's better to go for a 1070 if you can find it at a normal price, not because it's better but because there'll be new games coming out and the 1060 won't handle them as you want them to!

i5 K series its always fine for gaming if u need a cheap solution.

Thing that won't be cheap is the gpu tho, don't get why they don't make more of them as people will buy them

To be fair if they pumped out as many gpus as they needed the price would not increase. By increasing the price but not production you just limit yourself to who can and will buu

But you don't make more money, if people cant buy because miners buy them before they can be produced.
If they made more then not just miners but also normal people would buy
