Based on this, it looks like a GeForce RTX 2070 would be a good option, or a GeForce GTX 1070.

The RX580 8GB you already have is good for 1080p gaming. Is there a reason you feel the need to upgrade?

What games do you play?

What resolution do you play at?

Is graphics quality or FPS more important?

What budget do you have?

Please don't use the bogus bottleneck calculator.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Why? and what exactly makes it bogus? can you recommend an alternative source of reference?

What makes it bogus is its erroneous attempt to quantify relative performance so precisely, yet it controls for variables so poorly so it's very far off the mark. Additionally, bottlenecks are not absolute. The site is utterly useless because we have to find out what games are to be played on the system first. 

 

The alternative source of information is experience and a small amount of common sense.

Well like a month back when I was playing WoW it said that my graphics card was out of date and that I needed to upgrade

That was more likely referring to your display driver, not the graphics card. An Rx 580 will easily be able to handle WoW.

 

If you're still getting the error message update your display driver to the most recent version from the AMD website - currently 19.5.1

I have been playing Anthem (it's ok) 

Apex runs smoothish 

I would like a mix of both fps and quality 

Budget wise like 400
