Hi! I recently build my setup without the graphic card and now I want to buy one. I won't be changing my components for some time, say 2-3 years, only PS could be upgraded.
Here's my setup:
CPU i7 6700 & 530HD
MOBO asus 110m-k
RAM 16gb 2133mhz
PS 500W CM elite
Monitor 21:9 @ 60hz

Any recommendation would be very helpful!!
Thanks!

I take that your monitor is 1080p. If so, go for any RX 480 or GTX 1060 that you like or your budget allows. If your monitor is 1440p (2K) then look towards GTX 1070. If it's 4K, look towards GTX 1080 Ti.

Oh, replace your PSU also when getting a new GPU since your Cooler Master Elite series PSU is low quality (Tier four) PSU.

For new PSU, aim for a good quality (Tier two) unit, preferably great quality (Tier one) unit.

For RX 480, GTX 1060 or GTX 1070, you'll do fine with 500W range PSU. For GTX 1080 Ti, you'll need 600W range PSU.
Anything from Seasonic will do just fine,

Yes, it is 1080p. And yes, I was hoping not to upgrade PS but now I see I should. Anyway I'll go with Radeon probably. You think I should pair brands, Intel CPU and GPU or should I just go with Radeon?
