Looking for a new GPU for my desktop. Any suggestions?

Hi,

My MSI GTX-970 was broken(Garbage display) recently, and I'm looking for a replacement for it. I have a $300 budget. I'm not looking for a big upgrade, I just want to play the current games I'm playing and also some of the new ones.

PC Spec:
8GB corsair RAM
MOBO- GA970A-DS3p(1.0) - I know this is garbage but I'm not planning to upgrade it anytime soon
PSU- CS750m
Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM - 24 inches 1080p

Games that I usually play:

Skyrim Special Edition - heavily moded
Fallout 4 - heavily moded
Witcher 3
BF1
Other openworld games


My top candidate is RX480 8GB. should I go for it or should I wait for the RX 5XX cards or should I go for other GPU like GTX 1060?

Thank you!

1060 6GB or 480 are almost same in performance for 1080p display. And if you want a card buy now. Every year new cards come and go. Get one which can do your job.

Do you think its a good idea to wait for the RX580? I heard that it is like the 480 but consumes less power and cheaper. Also will my 8350 bottlenecks the RX480 8GB if ever?

Thank you

If you can wait then wait for it. And AMD is improving. But 480 will not be bottlenecked in your system.
