You could go with a GTX1050 or 1060, or you could go with the red side with a RX 480((I heard that after the latest upgrade, the card is performing way better))

that ain't hapenning with that CPU...even if you would have an overclocked GTX 1080 that CPU will have a hard time sustaining even 30FPS rendering in many games...sry.

I was planning on getting an asus gtx 960 4gb. Would that be okay?

that's pretty good if you can get a good deal on it it should game pretty well with that CPU.

alright. although I am also considering waiting for AMD's Vega architecture GPUs and the Ryzen before anything else. thanks for the helpful advice :D

Yes. If you're just looking for a card to play 1080p at decent fps, the RX480. You can get one from $180-$250 depending the specs of course and memory.

I'm not sure if my mobo will be compatible with it. Already bought one though maybe it'll arrive tomorrow or Wednesday (here in Philippines) lol
