Best $315 Graphics Card?

[Apollo Refugio]

So I just sold my RX 470 for $315 :D, and now I need a graphics card. Right now, I'm looking into an RX 580 8gb, a GTX 1060 6gb, or MAYBE a gtx 1070. MY PSU is a EVGA 500B, so would that be sufficient for any of the graphic cards? I can drop in an extra $45 if I need too. Thanks! 

 

TL,DR: Which graphic card is best for $315. Is a EVGA 500B sufficient for a GTX 1070.

[Algalon]

Yes, it's a GTX1070 (by far) and yes, the EBGA 500B is plenty.

Is it worth to drop an extra $50 for the 1070? How many years can a GTX 1070 would last me? Also is the GTX 1060 and an RX 580 be good option too?

Can you find a used 980 ti on Craigslist or something performance of a 1070

But isn't the 980 Ti VERY power hungry? I really don't want to spend extra money on an PSU to be honest.

REPLACE THAT PSU ASAP! don't get. New graphics card before getting better PSU.

 

Anyways, maybe a GTX 1070 on sale?

480 8GB or, if you can spring the extra for it, a 1070.

You should, anyway. Your PSU is very low quality.

500B will still be able to power the 980 Ti.

that psu is going to be fine

Okay, you want the 1070 if you're planning to be on a 1440p display at high display settings for the next couple years. 1440p is very important to underline, if you're on a lower resolution, the GTX1070 will get you 100+ fps on the most demanding games easily and I don't know if that's worth it. Otherwise, the GTX1060 should do you just fine for a very long time too. And also, with the money you're spending, I'd personally avoid buying used; it just ain't worth the trouble is what I think. I prefer shiny and new.

Yes, the EVGA 500B is what I use and it's a great quality and great value. Don't be one of those guys that goes crazy over a PSU. Linus couldn't get a system with 2 GTX1080's to go over 500W.

[Clyne]

Go to a Microcenter and buy a 1070, it's on sale for 199/299.

Yes, but it's not exactly great quality. @STRMfrmXMN @Energycore

It would be suicidal to power two 1080s on a 500B

I would not pair a 1070 with a 500B. I'd get a 1060 since you can't get a 580 right now and it would be a little more comfortable with the power-lite 1060.

[Energycore]

a) Don't do a high-power card on a 500B

b) for $315 you'll probably find a used 980 Ti which would be almost a 1070 but with 250W power. Do change the PSU if you get one.

Also:

 

I would take a 450W EVGA B3 over it.

he only has a 500w psu so it might be pushing it a bit to try and run a 980ti on his psu. Anyway 980ti draw a lot more power meaning that they are more expensive to run than a 1070 and Finally GTX 1070's are slightly more powerful than 980ti's and 980ti's are only marginally less expensive than 1070's.
