[UPDATE...got it!] New PC mostly for 2k17...need advice

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah I'm hyped....my only gripes:

- Samsung EVO Pro availability was terrible (next week)
- Core i7 availability was......like 10 days

Still sure Core i5-6600 (Quad) 3.300 Ghz is excellent choice (price/performance ratio wise)

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend I'll play on the Integrated HD 530 on low detail doesn't matter

i5-6600 should get the job done just fine. Nice rig.

ugh, i just hate it when you take a shot and players are going for the rebound, and the framerate drops to 50-55, sucks forever.

now about the GPU:

http://www.xtremegaminerd.com/best-budg ... ics-cards/

ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 470 4GB
Zotac Gtx 1060 mini 3gb gddr5

are those card good enought If I care only to play @ 720p with good level of detail (I don't care to have everything on) ????

GPU hunting has begun

Despite problems with Nvidia in this years NBA 2K17, myself with ASUS ROG 1070 GTX only had slight stuttering issues the day after the first patch, but was then corrected.

Overall GTX 1060 is better than than RX 470 on 90% of games by all the benchmarks. Both cards are overkill for NBA 2K17, dont worry. But I think it is worth considering going with 6gb version as it's more "futureproof". For processors go with 6600K as you can overclock them easily and the difference in price is minimal. Also they will keep the price for longer time if you consider upgrading in 4-5 years.

When I purchased my rig couple of months ago that was the air condition I considered and is the best air cooling system for its price. Just make sure to check dimensions of air coolers because the RAMs can be too "big"/high to assemble everything together withhous breaking the motherboard.

For WD hard drive, go with "red" one. Its the fastest. Everything else IMO is fine in your setup.

I ordered everything except case on mindfactory website and recieved all parts in 4 days.

I have the RX 470 for my secondary PC and it works at full 60 fps during gameplay for NBA 2k17. My secondary PC is an i7 920 so its pretty old too. DUring cutscenes, u will see some FPS dips to around like 40 ish. This is all using 1080p resolution so you should be fine and graphics settings almost maxed out.

I'd stick with the RX 470 if you find them under 200. You can also look into getting the SAPPHIRE RX 480 4GB, its 229.99 so its not too much more expensive than the RX 470. The 1060 3 GB performs better but the 470 and 480 are more future proof cuz it has 4 gb of video memory vs 3 GB.

I think i will take either RX 470 or EVGA The 1060 3 GB...I'll take decision really soon....

I guess 1060 It's newer so It has overall better memory and power consumption....am I wrong?

Yes, GTX 1000 series cards are lower power consumption and cooler too...
Cooler GPU will get your CPU cooler too if you are on air cooling. NVIDIAs are better also with anti-aliasing.

And beats RX 470 on all benchmarks, but its around 25% more expensive.

i Will buy a ZOTAC GTX 1060 - Mini with 6GB of memory (Pascal Architecture) seems a great card so far....

Finally I made a decision I just bought this baby:

Seems great @ price/performance ratio...will arrive tomorrow

CONGRATS!

Just put it low resolution if you temporarily are going to play it like this over the weekend, and plus you might be able to bump it up to medium in that case.
