The GTX 1060 is a better card, the VRAM won't matter very much. In fact, I'm not even sure if the RX 480 can even use all 8gb of it's VRAM.

The RX 480 is not a very good product in the current market. The GTX 1060 is slightly cheaper depending on where you buy it from, and also noticeable more powerful.

How inexpensive are you looking for. The cheapest card on the market that I would say is worth your money is going to be this > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137058&cm_re=gtx_1050-_-14-137-058-_-Product for just over a hundred dollars. Generally speaking low...

Adrian's correct in that it's helpful to know which one you have, however, generally speaking the differences aren't that big. Essentially all that tends to be different between different brands of the same graphics card (generally speaking) is what type of cooler they have (single fan, double...

Definitely get the i5-6300hq. You'll almost crtainly experience better performance with that machine.

What it sounds like to me is that you're running into a bottleneck; essentially your CPU is substantially weaker than your GPU, and is thus unable to keep up with the GPU, limiting your performance. The reason you're experiencing the same performance as on your 750ti is because your CPU cannot...

What graphics card do you currently have? No sense in buying a 1440p monitor if your graphics card can't push that many pixels.

I'm relatively new to overclocking, my only prior experience being an overclock on my GTX 950. Now that I'm rebuilding my system, I decided to get MSI's hybrid-cooled GTX 1070, mostly because its only a 60 dollar price difference to one of their air cooled cards, and to be quite honest it looks...

Are you actually noticing throttling, or are you just assuming there is throttling because it's in the temperature range. Try using a different temperature gauging program, its possible that it could simply be misreading. Afterburner is famous for that on certain cards.

Sounds like its pulling itself out from the PCI Express slot, or the power cable is coming lose. Open up the pc and make sure its firmly snapped into the slot, and also make sure the cable is properly connected.

Also, make sure you install the latest drivers off of Nvidias site.

I mean it's hot but not necessarily dangerously hot. Graphics cards can handle 90-95 degrees without dying, a great example being the Fermi series of Nvidia cards, famous for running hot. Though those temps are not recommended, of course. What's your case airflow like in terms of intake/exhaust...
