Upgrading Graphics Card

Sl0thic · June 27, 2018

I'm not the best nor smartest with computers so any help is appreciated.

I'm looking into upgrading my Gigabyte R9 380 to either a Gigabyte Rx 570, or an MSI Rx570. I've done my research or what you could call research; but I would like other opinions. I know there more or less the same put I just would like opinions. Currently the Gb 570 is $374.99 and the MSI is $474.99 on Newegg. I'd like to use the Gb 570 for I've always used them, but it has 1 HDMI and 1 DVi and 3 DisplayPort; now I've read I can use both at the same time but I'd like to keep my cables the same. So I could buy a DP to HDMI, but how well do they work is another thing I'd like to know.

For the MSI 570 it has 2 DP and HDMI and 1 DVi, so that appeals to me. What I'd like to know is how well this MSI product works, and if it's worth the extra $100.

EDIT- Or maybe if a 1060 is better I'd like your opinions.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated, thanks.

My current PC specs are

Motherboard=GA-Z170X-Gaming 6, Rev 1.1

i7 - 7700k @ 4.20GHz

16 Gb or ram

An EVGA B3 650 watt

And 2 BenQ RL2455 monitors with DVi and HDMI inputs

If you are wanting to stick with AMD cards you can get RX 580s for less than what you are looking at 570s for.

Thanks for the reply. I completely forgot to mention it's the Canadian Newegg I'm looking at. But thank you for the input.
