which gpu should i get which doesnt out perform my cpu?

or isnt my cpu/MOBO a problem?

1060 6GB or 1070 would be plenty.

Maybe an RX 580 8GB, depending on how much you can pick one up for.

True. It might be a bit of an upgrade if OP wants details to be higher but FPS won't really change much between the two.
