Upgrade for better gaming

This is my current rig

I wanted to know if there is anything in need of upgrading to take my gaming experience to the next level.
I like play all the latest games and like to mod older games like skyrim and fallout heavily.
I thought of adding some ram and a second graphic card but after researching I found out that my motherboard supports crossfire rather than SLI.
Should I get a rx 480 so that I can buy one later to use crossfire?
Can my PSU handle 2 rx480?
Should I get a different card?

Your PSU can't handle 2 RX 480s and I feel like you should get a better monitor before upgrading your graphics card. Your motherboard can support crossfire because any mobo with 2 pcie slots does, but if the second slot is x4 then I wouldn't do it.

Adding 8gb ram & a 480 or 1060 would be your best upgrade path (pretty much the only upgrade path really)

Just sell the 960 on , its useless to you with a new card installed.
Dual graphics setups aren't worth it nowadays , very few titles support crossfire/sli properly & its gotten progressively worse on recent titles.

If you're sticking with that monitor res I'd personally just go with a 4gb 480

Then should I get a gtx 1060 or rx 480?
Which one is more value for money?
From which vendor and model should I get?
Thanks for you help

Probably the RX 480 4GB as you don't need the extra 2GB of VRAM on the 1060 and can save some money, realistically whatever's cheapest and the best looking to you between MSI, Sapphire, XFX, ASUS, and maybe Gigabyte. It's pretty hard to go wrong with brand name graphics cards.

On a value front

GIGABYTE AMD RX480 G1 Gaming 4 GB GDDR5 Memory Polaris FinFET DX 12 Vulkan FreeSync PCI-Express Graphics Card https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JLG7HOK/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_U4kCybR0XX4CZ

Sapphire AMD RX480 Nitro+ 4 GB GDDR5 Memory Polaris FinFET DX 12 Vulkan FreeSync PCI-Express Graphics Card https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IQS6QE6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_L5kCyb52EP5YG

I think the nitro is worth the extra £12 personally as it has a backplate & removeable fans , from the 4gb cards it tends to be the staple one that 90% of people go for

Bear in mind neither the RX cards or the nvidia 10** series have analog out , if your monitor is VGA only you need an active converter to get a signal from it.

Your monitor states dvi inputs , you'll need to use a dvi cable not VGA.
