You have a good CPU. I recommend you get a GTX 1050Ti and then upgrade mobo+cpu+ram all together, moving to the latest KabyLake/Ryzen cpus and z270/X370 mobos when you have a bigger budget.

Good Luck.

The 1050TI would most certainly be a sidegrade. In other words you wouldn't notice a significant boost in gaming performance. A waste of money. The 1060 6GB or the RX 480 8GB/580 8GB would be the lowest performing cards I would recommend. The issue(INSANELY HUGE PROBLEM) right now is cryptomining(etherium). Long story short? It has drastically inflated mid-range cards.

It's probably the worst time in the history of gaming graphic cards to buy a card.

I think you should. Welll... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125881 is only about $40 over priced. Probably just about the best upgrade/value at the moment.

I second the GTX 1060. But you will have to hunt them down. They are out of stock almost every where. Try your local shops and see if you can find a 1060 for a good price.

~30$ more expensive than what we get here. Like I said try a local shop. If not, wait till the prices come down unless money is not an issue.

i will just wait because local shops have it around from 370-400 euro.

If you can find one for not a penny over $125 YES!!! That CPU can handle up to a 1070 EASILY. The 1080 would be riding the razor's edge imo.
