[SOLVED] Best GPU under ~213 USD (2000 SEK)?

[emirkir]

So I've almost built my first low/mid-end gaming/editing-ish computer (all-around that can support 1080p gaming at higher graphics).
The only thing left is a GPU (and a Windows 10 retail copy 😀 ).
When it comes to GPU, it's not really my territory so to speak, I really don't know anything at all what to look at and how to compare.
The only thing I know is that I can't spend over 2000 Swedish Krona (approx. 213 USD) and I can't buy from shops outside of Sweden (no Amazon or Newegg etc).
I really don't care if it's NVidia or AMD, as long as it is compatible with my ATX-case and Intel Core i5-7500 Kaby Lake 7th gen.
My MB has a x16 PCIe-slot 3.0 which makes it all easier, and no lack of space (I can easily fit a 3-fan GPU to place it in perspective).
My monitor supports Freesync, but G-SYNC will also work if using DisplayPort cable.
Any recommendations or help for what to compare and what to look at? NVidia or AMD? Low price is welcomed!

Examples of good websites that are in Sweden (if you are that helpful and want to look further):
www.inet.se, www.komplett.se, www.netonnet.se, www.elgiganten.se, www.proshop.se, www.proshop.se.

The more detailed answers, the happier I will be! 😀
Thanks in advance.

I think most cards in the RTX series would be too fast for your CPU.

I think in the GTX series....a GTX 1070 would work the best with that CPU.

I think a GTX 1080 might be a little too much.....but it would work fine.

or you could go with a GTX 1060....which basically will play most games at 1080p.....60 fps....ultra settings.

Just make sure you check to make sure your power supply can handle the GPU you buy. You can find out the PSU requirements of GPUs by checking out their spec page.

This is the cheapest 1060 card availble in the above listed websites that I've found so far. What do you think about it?
ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 3GB. 1070 goes way above my budget (if purchased as new). (Link to 1060 below):
https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorko...asus-geforce-gtx1060-dual-oc-3gb/236261.8989/
My PSU is a Seasonic S12II @ 620W https://seasonic.com/s12ii# so it should be able to handle most GPU in not high end.

I read somewhere that 4GB is minimum for a good mid-range GPU. The 1060 I linked has 3GB. Does it matter that much?

I actually have that GPU in 6 GB.
It played every game I threw at it at 1080p 60 Hz on Ultra settings.
I think ASUS makes quality stuff and I like your choice.

As far as 3 GB or 6 GB.....of course I'm reading that 6GB is better.
Maybe google around and see what you think.
