I recently bought a ryzen 5 1600x and a tomahawk b350. Now I need the gpu, probably within the range from gtx 960 to 1070. Should I utilize the crossfire and buy an amd for future proofing? I would want a bit cheap, still reliable for about 3-5 years and can run at least 1080p.

SLi/Crossfire is a terrible idea since most games don't utilize more then 1 GPU.
If you want future proofing then get a 1070. Since it has 8GB of Vram and it's the fastest card you listed in your budget.

Crossfire and SLI sucks...

 

Always try to use 1 card.

For 1080p, a gtx 1060 would do it fine,

a gtx 1070 will be ultra 60+ fps for some years to come probably

 

a gtx 1080 should be able to handle 1080p ultra 60+ fps for 3-5 years

 

Very hard to say...

Try to get a gtx 1080 as they are sometime as cheap as a 1070 due to mining

yea 1070 would be nice, but I would have to downgrade most of my planned components, I think would go for a 1060, but isn't rx 580 better? idrk.

Don't need to downgrade your components for a gtx 1070

GTX 1060, 1070 or 1080 are fine, depending on how much you "need" Ultra settings to sleep well at night.

Also, don't ignore price/performance.

Don't buy a 1070 for 450 bucks, if you can have a 1080 for 500.

 

Also, don't buy GTX 960, except you get it MUCH cheaper than GTX 1050 ti.

1050 ti is basicly a 960 4gb with much less power consumption.
