What GPU Should I Get

[Wreckingball]

So I have an i5-6400 on an AsRock H170 mobo. My heatsink is good enough so that it always stays at the 3.2Ghz boost clock, and I know that it's speeds are going to bottleneck any high end GPU so what GPU should I get to upgrade to (currently on a GT 730). I'm thinking of either a 6 gig 1060 or an RX 570 or maybe up to a 1070 if my budget permits.

what resolution are you playing games at?

[genexis_x]

RX 480/580 4GB for 1080p

Ideal - RX 480/580 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB, get whichever is cheaper

i'd go for a 1070

1080p but will move up to 1440p in the future (if I have the graphical power to)

If you want to upgrade to 1440p in future then go for 1070.

RX 580 is the sweet spot now for 1080p gaming. Performs on par with a GTX 1060 (losing in very few games) while performs better in DX12 titles and Vulkan (which is the future).

A GTX 1070 would do fine for 1440p, some games might bottleneck but not severe as most people like to exaggerate about.
