i have an i7 4790k and 24gb of ram.

I need a gpu and a monitor¬! ive got $600 burning a hole in my pocket!

I can get a 980 ti asus matrix for $338 which will give 10 fps more than a gtx 1060 card and even more than the rx 480. But most g sync monitors are expensive (cheapest is around $300)..My mates tell me to go rx 480 and a 29 inch free sync monitor ..instead of nvidia where ill end up with a gtx 1070 and a generic monitor that doesnt have display port 1.2 connection.

Ive also head that the amd drivers are pure shite and cause blod..game crashes and micro stutter!

Can anyone help me? I was going to wait untill black friday but im desperate to get back into gaming!

Go for the GTX 1070 and "generic" monitor. G-sync is not as amazing as Nvidia makes it out to be (similar to most things Nvidia lol) and definitely not worth that 100$ tax.

AMD just doesn't have a competing card at the moment. Vega (competition for 1070/1080) is coming out H2 2017.
