The 1070 will be extremely bottlenecked by the CPU. Not worth. The 1060 is also a waste since the 570 is extremely good value. Don't buy based on brand, buy based on what's good for you

I currently run a GTX 1060 with that CPU... could play Control on full HD quite well with high settings and 2x AA ... only had about 2-3 places in game where it stuttered... else completely smooth playing experience. 

 

so I would suggest a 1160/2060 type of card... 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

That CPU is fine for 60hz gaming just grab an RX 470/480/570/580 they should be cheap on the used market, around $100 USD

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Its going to be faster than my i5 3470 by a decent margin, but I have to agree anything above a 570 will be a waste on that machine.  It just wont build frame times to be taken advantage of by higher end GPU's.  If you have to be a Fanboi (I am, no hate here) than Id get a 1060 6gb and call it a day.  That's the max I would drive with my i5 3470 personally as some of it would be lost on my CPU.

It depends a bit... For 60hz target I believe the 1070 can still be justified as you'll be able to go higher on graphical settings, sure there's a bottleneck but the games that won't achieve 60fps on the i5 may be limited even with weaker graphics.

 

Also on a side note, seems we have a couple of brand new RX590 going for 199$ nowadays... Not a bad pick at all if you want brand new.

For 1080p the 4GB is enough... That said it's not rare to find the 8GB priced similarly so it's more a matter of the cheapest you come across.

I just had my friend pick up a Sapphire Pulse RX 570 4GB for $115 USD after rebate on Newegg a couple of weeks ago.

 

He is rocking an older i7-3770. I agree with everyone else here, a GTX 1060 / RX 570 / RX 580 is probably the max you should go with that CPU. I feel the same about my friend's i7-3770, and he will have better minimums due to the extra threads.

 

I think that will get you another year or two out of your machine before your CPU really starts to be a problem.

A bigger SSD to hold the software you actually use would be a good upgrade. I would replace the boot and game drives with a 1TB ssd.

Would the Crucial MX 500 1tb ssd be a good fit?
