Best one of those

Hello again everyone, thanks for the massive help before but I'm back for more ? 

So I recently did some upgrades to my pc, my current specs are as follows.

 

CPU-ryzen 7 2700x

GPU- msi geforce gtx 960

Mb - msi b350m gaming pro

Psu- evga 600b 

Mem- 16gb 3000mhz corsair lpx

Ssd - 500gb samsung 860 evo

Hdd- toshiba 500gb.

 

I am looking to go buy a 2nd hand asus strix geforce gtx 980ti just to tie me over to save up for a 108ti or better. Will this be compatible with my current set up and will my psu handle these upgrades? 

Changed the ram to 16gb for 8gb

Installed ssd 

And swap cpu and cooler from ryzen 3 1300x to ryzen 7 2700x

 

Any help much appreciated thanks!!

I wouldn’t get the 980Ti. Get a better PSU like the CXM and then get a newer card. Something like the 1660 if you have a lower budget and only play 1080p. If you need more power than that, get the 5700 or 5700 XT

GNo? I was only planning on using for a few months as its pretty cheap and my 960 is unplayable on some games. Was planning on upgrading psu, mobo and something like 1080ti/2070 in about 4/5 months? Was looking at a 1660ti and 1660 super but cant seem to find any round same price in my area :/

So I went to look at the 980 ti and unfortunately wont fit inside my case. Hdd and cd drive cage in the way. But wasnt a wasted trip as the legendary gave me a gold rated 750w psu for free! :) so will be looking at 1070, 1660ti and possibly the rx570/580. Is it much hassle going from nvidia card to amd? Also which models should I look for? Near me 2nd hand I can see palit 1070 non jetstream for £170. An evga 1070 sc for £190. Also a red devil rx580 for £140. And a gigabyte rx570 8gb for £160
