old pc new card

[djxzinik]

Hi, i would like to know what you guys think about me upgrading my video card

i'm planning on upgrading my pc but unfortunatelly i'm a little bit too much tight on money, so i'm planing on buying a new card and i would need a new monitor(ideally 144hz)

my build is an AMD  FX 8350 octacore 4.Ghz and a GTX750Ti in an ASUS m5a99x evo r2.0 mother board, I want to get a 1060 or maybe a 1070 do you think it will bottleneck? i thiink it is just in the limit where it wil start bottlenecking, but i'm not sure, i'm open to sugeestion on wich card should I get i dont care if it its amd or nvidia but i would like to be at the upper limmit on my system because i wont be able to upgrade everything else for atleast 2 years more (i wish i could do it now and get a threadripper with an RTX2080)

 

TL;DR

will my AMD  FX 8350 in an ASUS m5a99x evo r2.0 bottleneck with a gtx1060 or 1070, if so wich will be my best option(amd or nvidia) for max quality/fps without running into bottleneck with my cpu, i cant afford to buy a whole new system and monitor, just a video card and monitor(hopefully a 144hz)

 

thanks in advance

How about a GTX 1160ti? I heard they just came out today. there like 280ish dollars US (i think)

You wanna run a 144Hz monitor on an FX CPU? Yeah, that's not happening, sorry.

Do not go for a 1060 or 1070. There are better value gpus right now for example the 1160 ti which is better than the 1060 for nearly the same price and for the price of a 1070 you can get a rtx 2060

thats why i wrote "hopefully,144hz" and at least i would have the monitor for my next build

but those would bottleneck my cpu I think that a 1080 alone would bottleneck it, but i'm not sure, thats why i'm asking

Well if you want to have good hardware then fill it in later then I guess you shouldn't worry about the graphics card being bottlenecked, grab a 1070 because it's really good for 144Hz and then you can get a better cpu later.
