Currently I have an old gaming desktop running :
I5 2500k @stock
Nvidia gts 250 512mb
8gb ddr3
128gb SSD (for OS only)
500gb HDD
I can play diablo 3 which was the main game I used to play and Starcraft just fine. I know the GTS 250 is way outdated I haven’t been into pc gaming in years. I was looking to pick up a GTX 1060 6gb and a Hyper212 EVO cpu cooler in Black Friday. Wondering if I do this will it sufficiently run the new fallout / assassins creed at max settings in 1080p? Or what are some other options / best bang for the buck.
Others have told me to oveclock my cpu and upgrade the cooler but I don’t know how to do that or if it’s even necessary? I don’t plan to go above 1080p /60 hz on a 27” monitor
Edit:
I am using a 600w power supply and my motherboard DOES support over clocking I jsut don’t know how to do it. So basically I can get a 1050ti and not mess with the cpu or overclock my cpu with a 1060 for best performance to run 1080p at max settings. I think I’ll go with a 1060. Any need for more than 8gb ddr3 Ram? I know ddr4 is out but my mobo doesn’t support it.
I was thinking of putting a little more cash and getting an i5 8400 / 16gb ddr 4 and a new mobo but at 1080p would it even really be much better than my 2500k overclockednwith a 1060?

Is this the rx 580 you’re referring to? It’s also cheaper than the gtx 1060
