I am looking for a GPU for a good value that is capable of ultra on 1080p. I was originally planning on getting a RX580 or RX570 but I simply can't afford them due to the price increase.

My budget is $200 but I don't want to spend that much unless it's worth it, I would prefer a cheaper card unless it makes logical sense to get a better card, for example I don't want to pay 5 times more for 2 times increased performance.

I also currently have a r7 240 installed in the lower PCIE socket of my motherboard and a wifi card in the non x16 PCIE slot. I was wondering if this is slowing down my GPU. It can't fit in the top because I need my wifi card in the non x16 2nd slot.

My wifi card is in the x4 slot, but I can't fit a GPU in the first x16 slot when my wifi card occupies the x4 slot, so I put it in the second x16 slot or the slot near the bottom of the motherboard. Therefore I was wondering if putting it in the second x16 slot with the first x16 unoccupied would affect performance. Also I originally was going to get a PCI wifi card instead of a PCIE card but someone on this forum said I would have more options if I got a PCIE so I ended up buying a PCIE to put in my x4 slot but it blocks the upper x16 slot from having a GPU in it, unfortunately buying a 2nd wifi card would be a last resort as I would have to end up buying something less than a rx560 or gtx1050 probably. The card I bought was a Rosewill...

I recommend getting either gtx 1050 or 1050ti. If you have extra money get 1050ti because it has more vram and it's faster. If you can't afford any of these get used gtx 950. Cards I recommend. :

gtx 1050 evga superclocked. : https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Geforce-Superclocked-Displayport-Graphics/dp/B01M5FSDS9/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1497481313&sr=1-4&keywords=gtx+1050

gtx 1050 ti evga. : https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-NVIDIA-GeForce-Express-Graphics/dp/B01M66IJ55/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1497481347&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx+1050+ti

gtx 1050 ti gigabyte. : https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Graphics-Cards/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-GeForce-GDDR5-Memory-Express-Black/B01MEHGRMS/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1497481347&sr=1-7&keywords=gtx+1050+ti

gtx 1050 ti gigabyte with one fan. : https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Graphics-Cards/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-GeForce-GDDR5-Memory-Express-Black/B01M6ZANMP/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1497481347&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+1050+ti :)

I'd want my videocard in the correct slot. You can move the wi-fi card to the x4 slot, or maybe get a new wi-fi solution.

The EVGA lineup goes Gaming, SC, SCC, FTW. So of the ones you list, I'd say the SC is the best deal, unless you prefer the dual fan cooling.

edit: The 560 is slower. I think your CPU will do well with the faster 1050 Ti, but if money is tight the 560 is not bad.

The card I bought was a Rosewill 300mbs with long range capability for $17 and it works excellently so I don't want to just throw it away for some increased GPU performance. It outperforms both my dell and hp elitebook 8470p computers at wifi performance.

Overall I just really want to know if it's better to put a gpu in the second x16 slot with the first unoccupied, or just to put the GPU in the first x16 slot with a wifi card in the second x16 slot.
