Buying new GPU

Hello, everyone I'm planning to buy a GPU. My current rig is an AMD A10-5800K, 1x 8GB 1866 RAM. I had a 270X in my rig but my 270X died so I'm planning to buy a new GPU I'm interested in GTX 1060 3GB. but is it wise though to pair it to my A10? I know all the consequences of pairing NVidia to an AMD CPU like the iGPU in A10 is not allowed to use anymore if you have an NVidia in your rig, etc.

or should I stick to to RX 470? but the performance though, the 1060 3GB is really powerful and the price increased on the 1060 3GB is not that much compare to RX 470. I know if i pick the the 1060 3GB and put it in my system, I know there will be a bottleneck on my GPU coz the A10 is holding him back.

or what do you guys recommend? My maximum budget is like the price of 1060 3GB nothing more.

I would get the RX470, it is on par with the GTX 1060 3GB.

Honestly just save up some money and get a completely new system. Your cpu would hold back either of those cards a lot since it's pretty weak. A pentium g4560 would be a pretty good upgrade.

Yes it would. It's much faster than the a10 5800k.

Yeah, and at what price? If his budget is a 1060 3g max, I doubt its doable.

My advice is that he save some money and upgrade all of his system. A pentium with a b250 motherboard can be had for about 120$. It doesn't make sense to upgrade his current gpu when his cpu will bottleneck anything more powerful than the 270x.
