I'm finishing up a build for my son's first gaming PC. It's made of parts from my past builds, but would be considered mid-range I guess. It's a 2500k running at 4.6Ghz with 8GB of DDR3 (might upgrade to 16gb later). Resolution will be at 1080p and turning down some settings on newer AAA titles is fine….he's too young to care.
The last part I need to order is the GPU. He's really not going to be running the latest games but I want to get the best performance possible for $250.
I'm pretty much set on the 1060 6GB but would also consider the 3GB variant or the 480. Is an overclocked 2500k still good enough to power these cards?
