Well, you should build your own, but if you have to get prebuilt, get the 1070. Well over twice as fast as the 970

ok thanks

Depends on what monitor you have or plan to get for it. Resolution and refresh rate?

the monitor i would have is a 1600x900 60hz monitor

You need a monitor upgrade then, get a 1080p 60Hz display and that is all you need, or you can get a GTX 1070 and 1440p monitor separately which will equate to about 600-700$ unless you can find a GTX 980 Ti used, much better value.

Why not build your own? Its easy and fun, and both of these cards are overkill for 1600x900 @60Hz, your current 1050ti should do...

i7 2600 to i5 6400 will be a downgrade. You're losing four virtual cores, losing 100Mhz, and only gaining ~15% IPC. Just upgrade to 16GB RAM or build a Ryzen R5 1600 system.

You should get a ryzen 5 1600 based system to be a good upgrade from a 2600
