Hello ,
i need someone to suggest me a good gpu for my specs

My PC specs

i5 2310 @ 2.9 ghz
12 GB DDR3 Ram
Digilite B75m 1150
Gtx 560ti 1024 MB
Corsair CX 750
 
Solution
Bottleneck isn't the worry. A quad core should be fine. But I mean the RX 480 features a good 8GB of VRAM. Very helpful. Also it's HBM and also DX12 and OpenGL is pretty upper hand. Though a 1060 might do too. I mean if you want one earlier, then RX 480. If you go looking at the 1060 it might be a lot later down the line, and see how cram it offered, and how well dx12 and other rendering things play out.

1. System isn't too shabby. The RX 480 might mph except slightly more powerful than that rig can use all of its capabilities, but won't be a major issue.
2. Upgrade that PSU. You want to find a high quality unit to supply clean power to that system. Use the psu tier list to help you. An antec, XFX TS / XTR or seasonic 550w PSU should be enoguh.

I was actually looking forward for the Rx 480 , but then i was worried that it might bottleneck my cpu. Also eagerly waiting for the 1060 which looks promising.

But then i also do my 3d renderings and 1080p medium gaming , so this Rx 480 would be ideal for me?

So now this RX 480 is good enough for 3d renderings (Vray ) or should i go for Gtx 960 as 1060 gonna sure bottleneck my cpu.

Well it's too early to say but the Rx 480 may very well beat the GTX 1060 on account of Nvidia having pushed the clockspeed of their GPUs practically near the limit with their new cards, while a leaked benchmark seems to have shown the Rx 480 getting more than 20% performance improvement from overclocking.

As for rendering, assuming you use OpenGL and not CUDA acceleration then an Rx 480 would still be the better choice.
