Computer building

[Pig]

So i have a pre-build dell computer. Im wondering if I could take all my components out of the case, and put it in a new case with a gtx 1060.

 

[Pig]

Well do you want the best one for a high price or a lower end one for a low price?

well aren't they all good? I'd rather get a high end for a low price

 

[Pig]

Yeh they are all good but the better you go the higher the price, If you want the best it will be significantly more than the worst but they are all very good GPUs

I was thinking this one http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Kh38TW/asus-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-dual-video-card-dual-gtx1060-o3g

 

[Pig]

It will.

Did you determine the motherboards size before ordering the case?

how would i do this?

idk why I said I ordered the new case. I have the new case lined up to order* http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853002&ignorebbr=1

I'm also not sure which 1060 to get. There are so many to choose from and I don't know the difference.

To figure out the size of your case you would have to measure the motherboard.

You can use this website to base it on. > http://www.brighthub.com/computing/hardware/articles/66050.aspx

Personally. I would not get that case as I have heard a variety of bad things. As for your graphics card, I would recommend the rx 470 4GB model for your needs as it will max out any game you throw at it in 1080p. This model to be specific.

Back to the case. I would highly recommend this or any fractal design case. If you would like something that is a little cheaper, this is a great alternative.

would the 470 be better or worse than the 1060?
I might end up not getting a new case and just putting the 1060 and new power source in my xps 8500.

It would be a fair amount worse, but for your needs, the differences would be nearly unnoticeable.

What games do you plan to play with this?

I think I'm going to go with the 1060. I'll see if it fits in my case once it comes and if it doesn't, I'll get a new case.

You will easily be able to max out every game at 1080p with the 470. Put the money you saved into something better... like an SSD. You would notice the differences a lot more.

I think I'm going to stick with the 1060, but I need to determine what brand I want.

This one. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pKX2FT/evga-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-sc-gaming-video-card-03g-p4-6162

The 470 is around 25% cheaper after a rebate though =P
