    What will be recommended for me to run Overwatch at 144fps on low settings?

    I'm trying to see if I can put a desktop build together that can run the game at 144fps on low settings @ 1080p.
    I tried looking at youtube benchmarks, but a whole lot of their performance varies with the exact same setup.

    I'm looking into a GTX 970 or 1060, and Intel i5-6600 or i7-6700.

    1060 and i7 will be the best, but the 970 and i5 should be able to do that especially on low.

    Either setup will do fine on low settings. Overwatch doesn't really hit your hardware that hard at 1080p

    I wish I were home I could try it on my sons rig with a old I7 and a 1060, I think he said he gets 200 FPS? I told him it was too fast and offered to help him tweak his settings but he is 15 and thinks he knows it all.
