[SOLVED] GPU Upgrade

[Auchhior]

Hello, I wanted to upgrade the GPU in my system. My current specs are

CPU: i7-3770(non-k)
Mobo: MSI H61M-P23
RAM: G.Skill Value 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 mhz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
PSU: Thermaltake Smart 600W 80+
Monitor 1: Samsung LS24F350FHNXZA at 1080p & 75Hz
Monitor 2: Acer G246HL at 1080p & 60Hz

PCPartPicker link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FBL4PV

I've been doing research and have gotten conflicting information about what would be a good upgrade, from the 1060(6GB) all the way to a 1080Ti and a lot of options in between. So I wanted help on what would be good for my specific system.

Right now I play at 1080/60 most of the time in sp games and 1080/75 in titles like League of Legends. At most I'd swap one of my monitors with one at 1440p/144hziin the future otherwise I would stick with my current monitors. I'll also be swapping out my cpu cooler with a Hyper 212 Evo at the same time I swap out my GPU, in case that factors into your decision at all.

It all depends on your budget.
Obviously the 1080Ti would be your best option,on used market it goes anywhere from 250e >
you wouldnt need to replace the psu for it,so thats a good thing.
Although your 3770 is a bit old it still does the job great in games you play,but you should replace it in 2-3 years.

How much budget you want to spend?

 

[Auchhior]

I was looking to spend around 250 USD ideally.

there is no way you can get a used 1080ti for 250$.
They retail on ebay for 350$ with shipping.
For 250$ you can maybe get a 1070Ti

I wasn't trying to get a 1080TI for $250. I wanted help on figuring out what would be a good upgrade for my system, since I'd seen threads saying anything above a 1070 isn't necessary, but also posts saying that a 1080TI would be totally fine.

I'll be using it for 2 more years probably, before I build a new system.

1070Ti isnt a bad investment for the games u play for the next 4 years.
You can even use it in your new system in 2 years.

 

[Auchhior]

I should be paying around $250 for the 1070 TI?

You cant find it for a lower price.

As somebody that has gone from a GTX 1050 Ti to a GTX 1070(non ti) I can tell you that it is really good for 1080p/60 or 75 and will be able to hit about 144fps at 1440p with downing a few settings (expect around 100-130 fps). I do agree that you should try and get a 1070 ti `though. It's a great card.
