Hello guys. I want to buy a new graphics card, but since it's a river of new cards and all that I am not sure what to buy.
I will start of with i have a GTX 680, and even on low settings it hits the heating points in Dead by Daylight it can hit 90 C even on low.
Moving on.
What I'm sitting with is:
ASRock Z87 Extreme6
i5 4670K
8GB ram
and this Power supply. http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/gx-series/gx-750w/
In general my Power supply, ram and one harddrive is around 4-5 Y/O so I'm not sure if I should upgrade that as well.
I have an amount of 672 euro = 5000 DKK to do with.
What i need to play is:
Dead by Daylight, Dota 2, WoW, Doom 4 and might be some newer games as well.
What I need is a card that can take these games on a decent Medium high setting.
I will not go under and buy GTX 960 and under.
I prefer Nvidia.
I want to buy the components in Denmark, if they can get shipped for a decent price and time from other countries and if I don't have to pay an extra fee because it's outside EU.
I hope you guys can help me.

Agreed, a 1070 would be a very good upgrade for you. I would also recommend that you replace the thermal paste on your GPU. Those temps are abnormal for a 680. My brother has a ASUS GTX680 OC II and it never goes above 75c.

Here is a 1070 that can be shipped to Denmark easily: http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8192MB-Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1070-Windforce-OC-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail_1112156.html

I would use the remaining cash to buy an SSD, as it will greatly enhance your computing experience with very fast startup and game loading times compared to a normal HDD. The rest of your PC is fine, no need to upgrade.

This is a good SSD...

What resolution/refresh rate are you gaming at? I recently upgraded to a 970 from a 680 Gtx just because there was a 970 sitting around (came out of a friends SLI setup). However my 680GTX played most modern games on high settings @ 1080p 60Hz (including the new Doom) and never went past 80c (I had the Gigabyte Windforce 5x SOC 680gtx). I did feel 970 was a nice upgrade but I dont think I would have bought it to upgrade, now 1070 is a different story.

On the power supply side, 970/1070 consumes less power than 680, so you should be good (due to more efficient hardware + 16nm fabrication{1070})

Think I will, but I don't know if I should maybe put it all in a smaller case or buy something to my Haf X so that much dust doesn't get in.
I live in a Dorm with 1 room so it gets dusty quick :p
