Hi Guys.
Im looking for a new GPU as my r9 270x has unfortunately done its time and died.
My current specs:
H97m- Gaming3 Mobo
Thunder 600W PSU
i5-4590 CPU
8gb Ram

Looking to play the following games AGAIN:
Rainbow 6 siege
Fortnite
Dayz?
PUBG?
Arma 3?

Please give any suggestions including GPU or PC upgrades if needed.
Under $350 if possible.

Bad PSU, change that while you're changing the GPU. It's probable that the GPU died due to the {SU.

You could look at the GTX1060 6GB version or the RX580's/RX590's after you've got a reliably built PSU. Make and model of your motherboard?

Sorry forgot to mention the MOBO.
Gigabyte H97m- Gaming3

What PSU would you also recommend?
I'm leaning more towards a new PC in general, but a tad low on money.
 
Not a bad price. Do you have a microcenter near you op? If so, I do recommend purchasing through them and getting their 2 year replacement plan in case anything goes wrong. That's helped me out a couple of times.

However, that's an excellent price for a 1070. I think that the 1070 will likely perform like a new 2060/1160. If that's the case you'd be good for a couple of years if the card is in good condition.

Hi guys, i finally got around to getting some money together and what not.
Would the i5 4590 cpu bottle neck the set up?
Im looking at a 650w-700w psu and the 1060 3gb gpu to replace whats needed as above.
Or any other suggestions on parts to use instead?
Could i get away with another 600w psu of sorts?

I have roughly $450 AUD to spend....
