GPU and Mining Debacle - Help Please

[Awoo]

So, I've had my build planned out for a while now, and started buying the parts recently. Where I'm on a low income at the moment I can't buy all the parts at once. My problem is, I've gotten to cpu, gpu, and ram for what's left to buy. And with Ryzen release my cpu decision feels easier than ever, especially on a budget. Yet when it comes to gpu, I just now find that the 1060, 480, or 580 I was considering are all OUTRAGEOUSLY priced(Thanks miners...) 

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a card that'll be no higher than 260USD$ and pair with probably the ryzen 5 1500x for flawless 1080p gaming on acceptable settings? I don't need to play on ultra, or even high for the most part. But I do need 60 fps.

Used gtx g80 on ebay is about 250 on ebay and about the same performance as a 1060 or 480

What games, resolution, and what settings do you want. 

 

Here is what id do personally

 

If you want the best, get a gtx 980(or 980ti if you really lucky on craigslist you can get them for 260 ish)

 

if you want to save a few bucks and don;t mind medium-high vs high-ultra settings get a 1050 or 1050 tii.

Games I've had issues with that I want to be able to play with 1080p at least medium settings were games like nier:automata, Player's Uknown bg, overwatch, modern CoD games, and some others.

well the 1050ti will play those fine at 1080p, but 980 will let you have better settings. Decide if the extra 100 is worth it to you .

the 1050 ti is relativley unaffected by the mining and is only like $150 at max. It should do 1080p just fine

Looking on newegg both models of the 980 sit over 360-400 and very limited stock as well.
