Cheap out, buy a 1060, play in 60fps 1080p. (Destiny)

I'm going to keep using my old ass AMD quad core processor and 750 Ti until I literally can't play any games because I don't really care about quality. Sad part is games have taken away resolutions lower than 1280x720 a lot.

That's because everybody has an LCD, and there aren't any LCDs with resolutions below 720p. You can't really run games in alternate resolutions anymore without it looking like crap. LCDs have fixed resolutions unlike the CRTs of old. While it weighs 70 lbs, I had a monitor that looked "good" whether set to 640 x 480 for old games, or 1600 x 1200 for newer 3D games.

Games would literally be unplayable below 720p:
