Gpu Upgrade

[Lemtea]

Hi Everyone

I am currently having a bit of trouble deciding my next upgrade for my system. Basically I have managed to find a good deal for a gtx 1060 6gb for $250 AUD, which would allow me to to upgrade my cpu to a Ryzen 5 2600. But I also found a gtx 1070 for $450 AUD but a cpu upgrade would not be within budget if I go this route. Which option should I choose? Or is it worth waiting for next gen Gpus? I mainly play PUBG & Rainbow Six Seige. 

 

Current Specs

• CPU
  AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3.9ghz
• Motherboard
  ASRock B350 pro 4
• RAM

• GPU

• Case
  Cooler Master CM 690 III
• Storage
  Crucial MX100 512gb, Wd Blue 1tb
• PSU

1080p, Ideally 75fps as i have a 75hz monitor, high/ultra settings.

With the ryzen 5 & 1060 you should more or less achive that. While I've noticed this month pc parts on the used marked came down quite well already including gpu's (I've bought 580's 8 gb for less then 180$ and a 1080 for 300$ so far, same with ryzen 7 first gen cpu's.) Hard to say if the "upgrade" is worth it yet as it depense on how much you play. For someone who plays daily, sure its worth it. For someone who plays a game once or twice a week, I would probably keep browsing for deals. 

PS: Especialy for Pubg, you usualy don't want to run that on high/ultra, as you want as many fps there as possible even if you have a 1080 ti people have their settings often on low and maybe 1 or two things on medium

Nvidia seems to be pressuring retailers to drop prices day by day and get rid of Pascal stock as soon as possible. I'd personally recommend you wait till the new (and expensive as hell) cards' release before buying Pascal

Thanks,

Will probably just keep on browsing for deals.

PS: My biggest gripe with PUBG on lower settings (which I currently play on) is the amount of jaggies, which really becomes a problem when you are trying to spot movement in the distance.
