Hello,
I have been planning from several days to buy a new GPU to run my games like PUBG and CSGo and Far Cry 5 with decent fps and settings. I have pretty old PC that I build 4 years ago for gaming on a tight budget. Specs are:
CPU: AMD A8 6600k APU with Radeon 8570HD graphics
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1-sniper A88x gaming motherboard
GPU: Onboard GPU on APU, with shared 2 GB memory from main RAM
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) Dual channel memory. (2 GB shared to graphics)
PSU: Seasonic M12-II 620W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular power supply
Storage: WD Green 240GB SSD + WD Green 1TB HDD
Monitor: LG 25' ultrawide monitor 2560x1080, 21:9 ratio

I build this PC having one thing in mind that I will upgrade it sooner, but I didn't do it. But now I am feeling like I need a GPU to run my games. I want to run it on ultrawide monitor with ultrawide resolution. I know this badass CPU will bottleneck the GPU, so which GPU will be good for this. I have overclocked my CPU to 4.5GHz and RAM to 2133MHz with a stable overclock. This may help a little to reduce the bottleneck. I was thinking of
Nvidia GTX 1060 3/6GB
AMD Radeon RX580 4GB
Which one will be good and will give more performance in my build. I am also planning to record my gameplay. So kindly suggest me what to do. I have a tight budget and can only afford that much cost GPUs.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you
Regards

That APU is pretty old by now for the modern cards. It is somewhere in the ballpark of the fx8300 performance... http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-8300-vs-AMD-A8-6600K-APU/m7163vsm3344
But even the 8300 will start struggling if you go any higher than a 1050ti... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OCSzTslVki32BDSlEneeH3zJrTgD5iHe6IsWgbceHcQ/edit#gid=0

So, you should be getting a 1050/1050ti for max bang for buck.
