gtx 1060 would be a good choice. I woulldnt get a rx 580 because that card might push your PSU to its limits in terms of power consumption. I wouldnt not upgrade CPU yet tbh

Hi Linus people ! 

 

I would like some second thoughts before I make a mistake.

 

Heres the scenario:

-The only game I currently play is Path of Exile, wich is not a very hardware demanding game.

- My only need/wish is 60 FPS 1080p gaming in 2x1080p monitors

 

 

My current specs are:

- EVGA 440W

- Asrock B75m-DGS(itx case)

- i5 3450(Ivy Bridge)

- DDR3 - 16gb 1866mhz HyperX

- Radeon R7 260X

 

I know its pretty old, but I live in a country where pc hardware is very expensive, so before tearing my wallet apart I would some opinions/help: 

 

- Should I go "f*** it " and buy a brand new system ? (7600k, Z270M, DDR4, GTX1060...)

- Will I be OK if I just get a GTX1060 6gb ?

- What are your "budget" suggestion ? 

 

Thanks in advance, sorry for english mistakes/formating.

Hi, thanks for the input, I did not considered Ryzen, my budget would be about 500USD, I live in Brazil, so most tech stuff is pretty tax intense.
