So I recently sold my RX 580 8GB for £313 and was wondering what card would be a good option to replace it, Ideally I wouldn't want to spend any extra money than the £313 I have but I would spend some more. I mainly use my pc for 1080p gaming at 75hz, ideally at high-ultra settings. My monitor has FreeSync. I was wondering if anyone could reccomend any card to get in this price range. I was looking at getting a second hand 1070 but I am worried that it could be overkill since I only ever game in 1080p. Suggestions are welcome!
I am okay with buying second hand parts from eBay and I would be purchasing them in the UK.

Update: I found a Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Windforce for £300 on ebay, could this possible be a good option.

I got really lucky it seems, I bought the Palit Dual 1070 from Ebuyer on sale, always worth keeping an eye as their stock and deals can change daily, The RX580 is a great card in itself but as you are upgrading from that, its gotta be a 1070 or maybe a used 980ti?

it seems prices have jumped up again but this card is easily available at £399 new

I'd also avoid getting a 'Mini' or single fan model unless you are working with a very small case, I was tempted by the price initially but in the long run ample cooling will provide a much better experience noise wise and be better for keeping the card and other components cool

I need to ask. I am currently using an old R7250 2gb and yesterday I bought an AOC G2460VQ6.
My plan is to get an RX580 8GB in order to achieve 1080p@75hz in pubg. Isn't gonna worth it?
Why did you want to upgrade?
