Hey guys!

I'm very sorry if this has been answered already, but i'm really looking for some advice.

I stay in South Africa, so we do use ZAR currency (or Rand) just in case you guys want that info.

I currently have a Galax GTX 960 EXOC. I am really stuck between buying a second hand GTX 970, Galax GTX 1060 6GB, saving up some money and waiting a bit to buy a GTX 1070, or wait for Volta. I play at 1080p and my monitor is only 59Hz, but i want to be able to hit 60 FPS stable and future proof as well because I do plan on purchasing a 1440p monitor either end of this year or the beginning of next year.


Would you guys suggest waiting, or buying something for more performance now and save for something better?

WOW thanks for the quick response!!

@vapour Thanks for that heads up! Will definitely consider going 1080p 144Hz instead. So best to buy GTX 1070 and probably start saving for a new GPU when Volta releases? (If the performance jump is significant enough right?)

Running an i5 6500 on a very basic Asus B150M-A mobo. Planning on upgrading though after the GPU. Any recommendations?
