What's your CPU/GPU and your monitor's resolution/refresh rate?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yeah youll like the performance upgrade and if you lose £30 then its not that big of a deal, because you would be basically paying more to get it now instead of waiting and getting it cheaper

I'd just survive on the RX 460

 

Otherwise save some cash and get a 580 4GB card, which may end up faster with an OC to 1500mhz anyways, the newer silicon may be doing a lot better for overclocking.

It's on back order though, but it's only 232 GBP, plus it'll save you money should you upgrade to a 1080p 144hz free-sync display.

I want to get the 1060 ASUS Dual because it comes in white and it matches my colour scheme

Really wouldn't worry about asthetics until your budget is unlimited man

 

Also there's an 8GB 580 for 256 GBP, and the back plate on the sapphire card is white ish.

Are you going to upgrade to 1080p 144hz at some point?

Because it's 220 ish  for Free-sync, just need to double check reviews for free-sync, but I have that monitor and it's pretty solid, would be the same panel as the G-sync version as well I'd imagine.

While the cheapest G-sync display is 350 GBP

It's a very good card and the cooler does a good job silently. I had one for 6-ish months until I upgraded.
