Hey folks. I need some advice in terms of a good value upgrade from my age-old 660ti
Current games I play is Blizzard games and the odd PUBG every so often.
At the moment of writing I'm running an even older Samsung Syncmaster 226bw monitor which is 1680x1050 resolution, which I plan to upgrade to either high-end 1080p or mid-range 1440p, depending on performance, later down the line.
I have been giving the GTX1060-6GB and the GTX1070-8GB a good amount of thought. With my current monitor I know both are overkill, but if it wasnt obvious already, I'm super slow when it comes to upgrading, so I want my stuff to last once I get them.
Prices (in my country)
1060-6gb: 335USD - 400USD depending on brand/boost/OC etc
1070-8gb: 490USD - 580USD depending on brand/boost/OC etc.
Bonus question
Will my 1050p monitors (Im currently running two of them) be compatible with a new 1080p/1440p monitor as the main monitor?
Edit:
The rest of my relevant PC specs:
i5 3570k @4ghz
120gig SSD / 1tb HDD
ASUS P8Z77-V 1155socket
16GB 1600MHz HyperX ram sticks
