Good value gpu?

Hello. So recently I created my first pc. This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DB63pb  I am trying to look for a good gpu to use for my pc (the one I have currently is temporary) that is both good value and worth it and right for my pc. I don't really have a budget, I just want a gpu that is a good fit for my pc since it is mid range gaming and I probably wouldn't need something too overkill like a gtx 1080 ti. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

1070 or 1080, whatever is better for your needs. Or take a squiz at Vega 56 or 64.

I would suggest grabbing a used GTX 980 or 980Ti. You can usually pick them up from 200-300 dollars and still perform very well for today's standards.

Make sure to quote me or use @PorkishPig to notify me that you replied!

Err. He's talking about GPUs, not PSUs.

1) Get an AC wifi card, not a N wifi card.

2) a 1080 is about your baseline where prices really haven't been effected much, so that is where you are going to find the best bang for your buck without going used, and even that's a toss up.

GTX 1080 would be a good fit.

N1? Are you serious?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

Quote

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
