Hi! I'm upgrading my computer (Ryzen 5 1600, RX 460, 16gb ddr4, NZXT S340 Elite) soon, and I don't know what upgrades to make. My budget is 350 to 450 euro, and I want to get a new graphics card. However, I am currently running Windows on a 500gb hdd partition and it's loud and slow. I have a 120gb SSD for Linux partitioned into two 60gb drives, with one partition available for Windows, and I could put Windows on this. My question is should I buy a GTX 1070 or an RX 580/GTX 1060 with a 500gb ssd. If I were to go for the latter, I would lean towards the GTX 1060 for moonlight game streaming, but I do prefer AMD as a company. Thank you for reading this, and please reply if you can.

Edit: I am currently using two 1080p 60hz monitors, but I do plan on going 1440p, high refresh rate or 4k.

For the 1440p, you would need to go to the GTX 1070, and if you go 4k, then you need a 1080Ti.

I would suggest the 1070 - the games and boot times, etc., may be slow, but the improved performance/smoothness of the games will be worth it.

I would only get a 4k monitor because it seems that movies and television are skipping 1440p and going straight for 4k, other than that I would get 1440p.
