Hey All,
So I have been struggling with this upgrade question for a while. I am looking for the best bang for the buck graphics card. I have been searching but nothing has taken the upcoming black friday (BF) deals into account. I want to get a rift for $350 on BF and I know I need to upgrade from my old HD 7870 to run it. Here are the exact cards and deals I am considering:
MSI - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB will be $400 on BF.
MSI - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB DUKE this is the newest card and is $470 right now.
Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB TURBO this card is $500 right now and comes with Assassins Creed Origins and Destiny 2.
I want to upgrade the rest of my pc over the next year when the coffee lake cpu's and RAM prices are closer to normal. I am also hoping to switch to a 1440p monitor soon as well. I usually go by a ~$100 a year graphics card budget so I won't look to upgrade that again for 4-5 years if thats possible.
My current specs are listed below:
i5-4670k (stock)
Asrock Z97 Ex. 6
Corsair - Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Asus - Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card
Rosewill - Hive 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Corsair - Carbide 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case.
Asus - VS238H-P 23.0" 1920x1080 Monitor
I appreciate your help,
