What is your budget?

You can go with a used GTX 960 4gb, RX 470 or RX 570.

My budget is around $400 if i change my currency to dollars. I have considered the options u listed above but they are just to overpriced were i live.

The GPUs that I listed go anywhere from 70-150 US dollars in used condition. What country are you purchasing from? Can you order from NewEgg or Amazon?

[ARandomLttuser]

Im ordering from south africa and all of the shipping cost of the items are almost more thatn the item itself the shipping is usual more than 1000zar wich is 100 dollars.

Check for an RX 580. They're under $180 in the USA new, and used can be as low as $80. Even with shipping, it should be in your budget.

My i5 2500k is using a GTX 980 and my other i5 2500k computer that is no longer with me used a GTX 970.

Both ran Witcher 3 and older games at over 60fps at 1080p.

Bottlenecks are relative and very application /setting dependend.

Also a 2500k is very easy ugradeable i7 2600k and i7 3770k starting price is 30€ at ebay/craigslist. Which both can drive a 2070 on Ultra settings without any issue.

Then just find an RX 470/480/570/580 potentially, they're cheap in the US anyways, they're still fine for 1080p gaming.
