upgrade to gtx 1050 (non ti) or rx 460 from an r7 360?

Quick question,

currently:

CPU: fx 6300
windows 7
8 gb memory
gigabyte r7 360 oc edition

I want to change to a zotac gtx 1050 mini non ti or xfx rx 460. I see a 100 dollar XFX Rx 460 being sold right now. Is this a good upgrade? I want to play Skyrim remastered max settings at 1440x 900p resolution. My max budget is like 110-120 u.s dollars. Thank you in advance.

You want to get the RX 460. The 1050 is under powered compared to the 460. However, is your R7 360 under perofmring?

Thank you for the advice. I'll go with rx 460 then. The most 'graphics' demanding game I have right now is Ryse Son of Rome. With the r7 360, I can play it maxed out 1440x900p res except AA is turned off and the fps sometimes dips into the mid 20s. I'm really looking to get skyrim remastered- I don't have it yet.

You should be good with that. However, that CPU could hold you back, but it still should be good.
