I don't know what card I should get. I only have around $250 to spend, and i'm looking for the best all around gaming card. I've been looking alot at the RX 480's and the GTX 1060's but i'm not sure if there's other cards I should be looking at. The GPU is only for 1080p gaming, and I do plan to overclock the card. Any help would be great as i'm stuck. I do expect some sort of bottleneck with my current processor, but hopefully not much.

 

My current setup is as follows

MSI 970a sli krait edition

x2 R7 360's (CrossFire)

AMD FX(tm)-6350@4.2ghz

10gb ddr3 ram

Assuming you're in the USA, the R9 Fury can be had for $240 following rebate.

Ah I'd rather spend on going to an Intel platform.

For starters you can get an i5-4460 with a H97 mobo for under $250, and not have to buy DDR4

Or something even better if you sell your current mobo/CPU for extra $

 

By the way how did you end up with 10GB of RAM?

8gb of vengeance, just threw in a couple of samsung 1gb ram sticks I had lying around.
