Hi, I'm looking for some help upgrading my gaming PC. I live in Germany and will be buying parts here.
Here's my current build:

I would like to upgrade to a 144Hz, 1440p, 27in Freesync monitor and get an AMD card to go with it.
For the monitor I would probably go with Acer XG270HU:

For the card, I'm thinking R9 Fury Nitro because those are really cheap now:

The question is, whether R9 Fury Nitro is powerful enough for a monitor like this.
I understand I won't be playing Battlefield 1 at 1440p and 144FPS and Ultra settings.
Here's what I would like, all at 1440p:
- Old games like Painkiller or STALKER and indies like Heavy Bullets or Superhot at ultra, 120FPS
- Old-ish games like Shadow Warrior or Far Cry 3 at ultra, 90FPS
- The Witcher 3 or heavily modded Skyrim at ultra, 30FPS (which should still feel smooth with Freesync, right?)
- GTA5 at high, 60FPS
- DOOM at medium, 90FPS
You get the gist. I'm willing to sacrifice either graphical fidelity or FPS depending on the title, but not both.
So, would Fury Nitro be enough? Or should I rather wait for Vega?
And what about RX 480 8GB or Fury X? Is either of those a better choice?
Of course, I will very much welcome other advice, e.g. if you think I need to upgrade some other parts of my PC or if there's a cheaper monitor with the specs I want.
Thank you very much!
