[jonfunko]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tzmtFG is my current machine, and im looking to upgrade my graphics card, but i dont know what to get the last time i was smart on graphic cards was the 770 and r9 290x time frames  primarily i play second life using the firestorm launcher,  pso, world of warcraft, and cs go, occasionally gta V at 1440p on one monitor and 1080p on another both 60hz  my current gpu is a Acer predator rx580 4gb with a nvidia 700 series black reference cooler and on it and im hoping to get something quiter and more powerful, this system was a mash of parts we found in a micro center and hand me downs, so im not sure what gpus to be looking for, my budget is 300 USD max  with amazon, best buy,and micro center as preferred retailers, i just dont know how the spec all work i just know how to slide it into the slot and turn on the computer.

Why not upgrade to 144(plus) monitor first?

Just a suggestion.

1080 Ti works well, but maybe upgrade your monitor. A 580 works pretty well so you'd see better performance with a nicer monitor

Newegg has this available, which is a good deal:

You can probably get a 1080 on ebay for about 300 bucks unless the prices went up.

I mean, it's alright, kind of unneeded for a 60hz monitor

why am i upgrading my monitor, my 1440p monitor i get 100 fps max while playing wow, and my 580 is a 4gb model, also your saying im going to see better preformance, meaning more frames and higher details by upgrading my 1440p 60hz monitor? or are you talking about my 1080p which i use for stream manager and chat

you know, you buy a graphics card now...but in a year or two from now? still using it likely because you bought a bit more than what you need...or you're already seeking an upgrade because you cheaped out and bought the minimum just to scrape by for now

So which is better? buying lower end twice? and suffering worse performance all along...or buying a nice one ONCE, and enjoying good performance for a couple years

they are not quieter or better or any of that...it's just that in your price range you get more performance from AMD.
