Zotac AMP Extreme GeForce GTX 1070

Built on the GeForce GTX 1070, this card carries 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Clocks run from 1632 up to 1835 boost, drawing 150W — even modest power supplies handle it. At 325mm long it needs a full-size case; display outputs: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1. 8GB of VRAM is workable at 1080p and 1440p with sensible texture settings.

Its $23.00 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and adds the part's price to your build total.
