I'd save up some more money. RX 560 is no faster than 1050 in general, so the main machine wont see any major difference at all (maybe drops on some and gains in others)

I'd go with that, hopefully, next year Nvidia will release new cards. Personally what I am going to do for 1080p 60 FPS gaming is buying low-end cards (until I graduate). Also a 560 I'd say go for an AMD card if you have a monitor with Freesync.

Alrighty this is going to be a interesting one...

so I own 2 pcs and in one I have a crappy card, and it is used as a backup/guest desktop, but I want to make it able to at least be able to play some newer titles.. I have a 1050 in my main pc, so I was thinking what if I put the 1050 in the guest pc and bought a RX 560 4GB for the main pc?

should I do this or wait and buy a better card for my main pc?  and then still put the 1050 in the guest pc. if I wait it will be quite a few months till I could do this...
