I'm confused so I need your professional help. What would be the best graphic NVIDIA card I could get under $400? I'm looking for NVIDIA because I won a nice Gsync capable monitor but my current card is AMD.

Below is the PC I built about 3 years ago:

Processor: Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K 3.50 GHz, 6 M Processor Cache 6 for LGA 1151
Mother Board: MSI MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5 LGA 1151 Intel Z170
Graphics Card: MSI R9 390 GAMING 8G
PSU: EVGA 110-B2-0750-VR 80 PLUS Bronze 750W Semi-Modular NVIDIA SLI
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000)

Thanks in advance!

Honestly they'll all perform basically the same. Obviously the 2070 is better than the 2060 but unless you see something soonish that'll require more I'd buy the 2060 and upgrade down the road if you need to. It's not like the 2060 will lose all it's value any time soob

Thanks! Which brand or model do you recommend specifically? Does it matter? Also if I want to be future VR proof should I get 2070 or just build a new PC based on my spec? I'm considering building a new PC because some say I may need to change both my motherboard and CPU to match the high end graphic card.
