So I have an ASRock B85M-HDS R2.0 motherboard, which was the cheapest motherboard that I could find in my country for Intel Haswell CPUs at the time. I bought the G3258 and GTX 560 SE(which was really cheap) and now I have the money for both a CPU and GPU upgrade.For the CPU I decided for an i5 4460, however I can't decide if the RX 480 is a good idea for my mobo. Is my motherboard enough for it or should I upgrade my motherboard first? Or just buy the 3gb GTX 1060?
Thank you for the answers :)
 
Solution
the 480 should work in that board just fine.

if the 480 didn't, the 1060 wouldn't either :) they are roughly equal cards

one thing, though, if you already have an nvidia card, sticking with NVidia will avoid potential driver conflicts
