Value GPU upgrade

Hi guys

I want to buy a new GPU for my Ryzen 5 1600 system.

I've found a deal for a GTX 1070 ROG Strix at 200 Euros, a 1070 Ti Gigabyte Titanium for 250 Euros, and a GTX1080 Gaming X listed at 300 Euros that I might be able to get down to 275.

For someone who saved up ~600 with 300 of that available for his GPU at the most, which one of these would be the best value, considering my R5 1600 and playing at 1080p? I want to be able to use the card for atleast 3 or so years without really considering upgrading.

Sorry for the long story and thanks for your advice

Edit: the 1070Ti is 265 but I will probably be able to find one for 250, and the 1080 is 280 after some negotiating.

Which would be the best dollar/frame?

Edit 2:

I've found a Vega 64 for 300 and a Vega 56 for 175 and a few for 225

I think the Vega 56 is the best option then (correct me i if I'm wrong) 

I have a TX650M with a Ryzen 5 1600 ,2 7200RPM HDDs, one Sata SSD, one DVD RW and 2 case fans with my R5 1600 at 3.8GHz

Will a TX650M be able to handle a Vega 56 with the rest of my system? 

I had a weird issue where it would turn off with my old 7970 but I don't know if that was due to power constraints or if there was something wrong with the card

If you can get the 1080 for 275 then that. 

Otherwise the 1070ti.

Is the performance difference big enough to justify the 25% price increase for the 1070ti and the 40% increase for the 1080?

I would not count this with %. Its kinda misleading imo. 

 

Anyways, the jump in performance from 1070 to 1070ti is easily worth $50.

The difference in performance of 1070ti vs 1080 is kinda small so it's definitely not worth another $50.

Why would you not count with percentages?

because it makes the price seem more than it actually is.

If something is 1$ and the other is 2$ then that is a 100% difference but its just 1$ more.

 

Dont take me wrong, 50$ can be a lot but it depends on a perspective. If you can afford to spend it, then the 1070ti is definitely good enough upgrade for $50 extra over the GTX 1070.

A 1080 for over 1.5x the price is better than a vega 56? According to Hardware Unboxed's video from april this year, the 1080 is about 15% faster on average than the vega 56 while being a bit more efficient

Are you saying this based on performance or concerns regarding my PSU?
