I want to get better graphics for my son's gaming computer. He's in second grade and plays Roblox and various Steam games. I don't tend to buy the latest games as I refuse to pay over $5 for a game lol. He has every Tomb Raider except Shadow. We play every Resident Evil up to the 6th. I plan to get RE7 pretty soon but not the newest one (RE2) for quite a while. I saw a used 970 for very cheap at a reputable local place, just a little under $100. I suppose I could potentially get a used 580 or 1060 on eBay for the same amount but it has the disadvantage that I'm not able to easily return it should it have any issues. So is this 970 a good idea based on the games we play? I don't own any monitors over 1080p. There's also a used 980 being offered for 40 more but I'm not sure I actually need this extra performance? What do you all think? Also, do the 2GB difference with the 1060 make that much difference in game?
His specs are as follows:
i5 6600k
AsRock Z170 Extreme6
Seasonic Focus 850W (I know it's way overkill, it was on sale and cheaper than other units when I got it)
WD 1 GB, HGST 4 GB drives
