Hi. I'm using currently:
i5 6600k 4.5GHz
z170-a
gtx 1060 6gb sc ( single fan! ) with +50 / +200

I'm using 2x 1080p monitors, but I want to upgrade it all.

Not at once, I need to spread it all, and that's with new AMD Ryzen, around June / July if you go by the rumors...

So long story short, I will be getting some of those new Ryzens, I want new monitor too.

In the market for best bang for the buck kind of a deal for 1440p with 144Hz, around 27"

I need a better GPU for that to play games, so... should I wait for NAVI, to see what's on the offer?

I could probably go as high ( price wise ) as 2070.

Would NAVI be better than 2070? Thats with or withouth RTX cores...

My understanding is that I would need at least 2070 to run games at 1440p with high refresh rate, right?
