I don't know the retailers you have available over there. I have a friend who lives in Cairo but she's not well versed in the building of PC's.


Anything up to the 1080 will work with your build and won't be slowed down by the 4670. Your PSU has plenty of power and supplementary power cables to support the 1080 or 70 or 60. But, the 1080 is the "best" out of the 10** so I recommend https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127945. It will fit in your case.

right, until you take the resolution of the monitor in to consideration. a 1070 would be wasted on a screen with a 1600x900 resolution.
the cards I suggested will suffice nicely up to 1080P and can even play acceptably beyond, but more than a 1060 would be wasted until you get a larger monitor with a higher refresh then look to the 1070 or 1080.
 


Are you saying that the 1060 will offer the gamer Ultra settings on all games with a 1080p resolution? Idk if a lesser card will suffice. Not sure if the OP wants to settle like that. Does the 1080 open a door to a monitor upgrade in the future?
 


As stated above the monitor will be the sticky point. While the 1080 will allow you to max out your settings on a 1080p 60Hz 20" screen with ease the 1080 is a bit much for that screen. Your 4670 won't hold it back. Have I done any research about pairing the 4670K with a 1080? Not that much. I have however looked into the 4690K with a 1080. Why?

The 1080 MSI Armor will, hopefully!!!! be my next card. The 4670 is so very close to my CPU so I don't expect the 1080 or the 4670K to be choke points. The 1070 is just a horrible value. I recommend a 1440p 75Hz or better 24" - 27" monitor/TV.

The 8GB RAM is the next issue, for both of our builds. If you upgrade to 16GB I strongly recommend buying a new 16GB kit because mixing old and new RAM isn't recommended.
