Hello, I was thinking of upgrading my Graphics card. My current system build includes a:
Intel Core i7-3770
8 GB of DDR3 ram
As well as a
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 mini with 2GB of VRAM

I feel that my CPU is being bottlenecked by my Graphics card so I wanted to upgrade to something better, my current budget is $250. I was leaning towards maybe a 1060 with 3gb of VRAM or something of the sort, seeing that most Graphics cards with more than 3 GB of VRAM are pretty overpriced at the moment.

Some of the higher demanding games I'd like to be able to play well:
GTA V
Battlefield 1
Rust
And id also like to try the new COD

So my question is should I upgrade my Graphics card, and if I should what would be my best option?
 
Solution
The gfx card is your weakest link right now, yes. If you have at least a 450W good quality PSU, the GTX 1060 is about the best you can do at $250-ish.
