Looking to upgrade my graphics card, which one should I get for my PC?

[aflumbahgee]

Before anything, I live in the UK so keep that in mind and here are my current specs:

1440p monitor
gtx 660 2gb
i5 3rd gen 3470
8gb ram
ssd 2x 256gb
1tb hdd

there is a few games I have which I cant really run with my current GPU. I have arkham knight, witcher 3, evolve stage 2, cities skylines, arma 3, company of heroes 2.

Graphics cards seem expensive atm. What would be a good match, best performance per sterling?

This card seem like the best deal but I don't know if it will handle 1440p ok. Im not bothered about ultra settings or anything. Is it worth waiting for the next gen of graphics cards?

go for the GTX 1060
i just bought the Asus Stric GTX 1060 was using GTX 760 and the performance increase is around more then 250%

Consider the 4 or 8gb version of the AMD RX 480, they're inexpensive and are well supported with a relatively strong GPU base and plenty of VRAM to go into games.

if want to play at 4k u should go for gtx 1080 ti it will be good with ur 1440 monitor and as for gtx 1060 it will not be able to run games at 4k but if u want to run games at 1920*1080 then buy msi gtx 1060 gaming x 6g it will work just fine as it will give u a steady frame rate of 60 hz in most games.

A 1060 is really made for 1080p. A 1070 is what you really want for 1440p. However, if you're willing to sacrifice it might be possible. For instance, a 1060 can do it if you're willing to lower settings and maybe settle for less than 60fps on many of the demanding games. There are plenty of benchmarks online showing 1060 performance at 1440p, check some out and see if you can live with it.

Certain games, like Skylines, are CPU dependent. You might not see much of a performance improvement on those games.
