Hey guys. I'd love some suggestions for a new gpu as I dont know too much about the topic.
I'm looking to spend $300-$400 dollars.

My PC:

-Intel i5 2500k 3,3ghz
-Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3
-ZOTAC GTX 560 Ti (probably dead, showing artifacts all over)
-8gb ram (not sure model though)
-500GB Seagate hdd
-Thermaltake TR2-600w
-Thermaltake V4 black edition

Bare in mind that all these components are 3,5 years old. Should I consider replacing any other part?

Also, should I wait for black friday/cyber monday? If so, which one? (Im not from the US so I dont really know which day is better to buy this)

Thanks in advance!

What games do you play? What resolution do you run? Are you an 'ultra settings, 60fps' gamer or are you willing to settle for less? The safe choices for 1080p would be an AMD RX 470 or Nvidia 1060 3gb, whichever you can get for less. With the left over money I'd buy an SSD, you won't believe the difference even a cheap SSD makes.

Mostly I play CS:GO, Overwatch, and some games that might come out. I'd love my PC to run every game, at least in a decent way, not ultra settings but playable.

Would an SSD really make that much of a difference?
