Hi!
I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and now I need advise from you guys. Gtx 980ti would cost me around 300€ used and gtx 1060 6gb would be around same price. Also I can get the EVGA gtx 980ti hybrid version with the same price. Also wondering if it's worth to still buy 900 series card?
I play 1080p and my other specs are;
i5-7600k
z170-HD3 ddr3
16gb ddr3 1333mhz
Kingston 256gb ssd
1tb hdd

Thanks in advance!

A Standard 980 TI takes a 6-pin + 8-pin VGA connector and the overclocked versions take 2X8-pin connectors. A 600W is as low as I would go since the stock card will draw up to 250W. As long as your supply has the needed connectors or you adapt to used 2 Molex you should be fine.
@srimasis yeah i know it is more than enough for now but I am also looking for future since I dont feel like upgrading my pc again in few years. I still feel like I get better bang for my bucks with 980ti and since I can get the hybrid version I could keep it in lower temperatures..
 


In that case you should go for the Gtx980ti.
 
All EVGA,GIGABYTE,MSI and Asus 980TI's have a 3 year transferable warranties and the majority of the ones you run across are 1-2 years old which leaves you with something. I have bought 6 off reddit so far all under warranty "970/980 and 980 ti's".. 6 months to 18 months left. Avoid Zotac the warranty doesn't transfer.
 
@delaro thanks! I think the one i'm looking for is less than 2 year old. I'll update what I will go for. Thanks.
Edit; also is my 650W power supply enough to 980ti?
