i am looking for a new GPU for my PC and was wondering if people could tell me what the best card I could get without wasting money on a card that I can't use to capacity.

This is my setup, including my current GTX 1050Ti: 

If possible I would like to keep my 1050Ti for a 2nd monitor, but if I could get a good enough AMD card at the price to warrant replacing it, I can't dispute that.

What are you missing out on right now? What monitor are you using?

What are you looking to spend?

 

P.S. a second screen does not make an impact on gaming performance (unless you're running 1080p60fps/4K YouTube, then the video might play slower), thus it's usually best to just connect all screens to the same videocard.

Plus your PSU is likely not powerful enough to run the 1050 Ti and another powerful videocard at the same time.

My current view is sub $450 (US)

With 2560x1080 I would go with a videocard like a 2060 Super or 5700(XT).
