Hey Tom'sHardware!

So the title already explains the purpose for this thread. I currently own a R9 380, and I'm looking for a new graphics card for my PC, but it doesn't have to be "new". I've got a budget range of around $200-250 to find something. I'm thinking about these cards, a GTX 1060, GTX 980, GTX 970, R9 290X, R9 390, and RX 480 and 580.

I plan on getting into game recording, video editing and graphic arts, and I will be water cooling the card, so maybe overclocking headroom would be nice. I will probably be keeping the card for a while.

What do you think would be the best option?

Thanks!

You may be right with that, I have an i5-3470, and I guess I could go for a platform upgrade to a newer system, but I'm pretty short of money right now. I planned upgrading to an i7-3770 in the future for around $150, but I could go for a new platform soon.
