First of all, my current specs:

 

i5-2320 3GHz

8GB RAM 1333

GTX 960 2GB

600W PSU

 

So, a couple of months ago I bouught the 960, it was a busget upgrade from a 650, but now I want to upgrade to a much better GPU because life decidided to give me some extra money.

 

I'm not sure which GPU to choose, the plan is to buy it in july, and to cost me less than 500€/$570. It can be NVIDIA or AMD, but needs to be able to pull 1080p60fps in high/ultra settings, a nice graphics card.

 

PD: I don't want to upgrade any of the other components for the moment, maybe in 2-3 months, but now I want to up the GPU.

 

Thanks for the help :)

Get the fury, it will (hopefully) out preform or preform as good as the 980Ti at the price of 100 dollars off. But wait for the benchmarks for the fury to come out first.

Well the GTX 980s price just dropped below your budget so there's that. BTW, I love my 980. The 390 was just released and the 390X will be out by July. But they are a bit more power hungry and XFX is recommending like 750W. I'd go 980...that's a card you won't have to upgrade for a while.

What planet will that happen on? The 390X is a refresh of the 290X with more GDDR5 memory and 50 mhz higher clock by stock. Maybe it'll be close to the 980

Notice FURY not 390X. Again, Fury not 390X. The fury is a new card, the 390x is a rebrand. Repeat with me again, Fury not 390x.

Does the Fury have DVI? My monitor is shitty enough to not have HDMI.

I guess it will, even if it didn't display port can be connected to DVI with a adapter usually included in the box. But once again I remind you that we are still not sure about how will the fury preform, leaks point to Titan X and 980ti beating performance, but those are just leaks so wait tell guys like Linus review it.

As long as it can handle 1080p as a 980 with the benefits of HBM I'll be happy.

Be prepared to buy a new PSU if you go with that

Sure! My PSU will lack potency and cables for that GPU. Any suggestions?

Seasonic is a favorite of mine in PSU companies. They design and manufacture in house...not to many of those out there. I'd go with at least 800W of 80+ Platinum efficiency. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151111

That being said I don't know how much power it's going to draw exactly. I do know that you'll be a few hundred bucks out of budget. The card itself should be about $600 plus a decent PSU is $150. But if the hype is real, it will be worthwhile

Not really, HBM improved the efficiency. Though, getting a decent power supply for crossfire in the future might be a good idea.
