What GPU to buy?

[DefenderDC100]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to upgrade my current GPU (Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB). I play at 1080p, live in the UK, and am looking to spend around £200. I generally play World of Tanks as well as other games such as Rise of Tomb Raider, LOTR Shadow of Mordor & AC Origins (And would like to play the Halo games when they finally come out). I would like some advice on the best GPU at this this price range. Currently I have been looking at an RX 580 8GB or GTX 1660 6GB, but would appreciate any suggestions!

 

Many thanks,

You said ‘around’ I take that as +-50

1660 is better, but how about used cards?

Yeah I was looking at some used cards, the best ones close that price range were GTX 1070s, but they were generally going for more than a  new 1660

I got a Corsair CS650M 80+ Gold, its a few years old but should have enough power for a bigger GPU?

Ideally I didn't want to go over £200, I could stretch to £220 but don't really want to spend £250
