So I'm building a PC and I'm at a crossroads.
I could opt for a 1070, but lose out on some storage and potentially some RAM, considering my budget.
Or I could go for a 980 Ti and be safely within the thresholds I have.
From what I've seen, performance of the cards is relatively similar so the 980Ti seems like a safer bet, but I want this build to be pretty future-proof.
Any suggestions?
Also, is the difference between RAM speeds really worth stressing over? 1600 - 2400MHZ.
USE. AMD. YOU FUCK.

You don't do this by getting an outdated previous generation video card.
>Also, is the difference between RAM speeds really worth stressing over?
Yes, quite a few things are highly dependent on memory speed. Get 3000mhz+
>but lose out on some storage and potentially some RAM
You can always add a HDD or another pair of memory sticks down the road quite easily.
wait for the 490 to release or use a 3rd party 480
Thanks guys.
Another quick question - would an i5 6500 bottleneck the 1070 too hard?

*6600, sorry
You should probably get an aftermarket 480 or wait until october/november for the 490
Just as an outline - my unmovable budget is £1000
