Gpu upgrade path

[PawelJ01]

Hi,

I would like to know which Gpu i should buy to replace my ancient GTX550ti. I play rts and rpg games on occasion nothing too intensive (Poe-D3 etc). I have been waiting to upgrade since last year, 

but the prices were out of my budget (2-$300) Also, while im asking about the Gpu, would it be wise to spend money on the fastest CPU my MainBoard can handle or just ugprade Mobo Cpu Ram down the road.

 

Here are my specs.

Cpu- I5 3570k

MainBoard-AsRock z77 Extreme6

Gpu-Gtx550ti

Ram-Corsair DDR3 4x4 16g

SSD-Samsung Evo

Psu- Corsair Hx750

 

Thanks.

Budget/Country?

 

Your CPU is fine for 60hz gaming

Only a 1080p 60hz display?

I take it $200 is out of your budget, then a decent RX 570 should do you fine. After all, all you play seems to be non-intensive stuff, and it's still a massive upgrade over a GTX 550 Ti. This GPU looks like it could be OC'ed somewhat decently as well so you should be able to squeeze some decent performance out of it for 1080p RTS gaming. It's going for a pretty good price actually IMO:

A 1060 6GB should be good for you, assuming 1080p60fps

Budget? Should probably just stick to an RX 570/580 depending on sales

why not a GTX 960. i have one and it works wonders at 1080p most games ill get a solid 60fps especially in RTS games. newer games tho... i get around 40 to 50 fps it depends and they are around the 150$ mark here in australia

GTX 1060 6Gb can overkill any 1080p gaming with maximum setting, even if your monitor more than 60Hz refresh rate, it can maxed out the fps or even go more.

 

My GTX 1060 6Gb serves me HD client World of Tanks at 1080p fully ultra setting 90-115 fps with stock clocks, it can do 120-148 fps if it overclocked to 2.1 GHz but I think my CPU also involved to this high fps. Unfortunately this GPU might be out of the OP budget range.
