Greetings folks.
Been reading on GPUs for weeks now. My friend says to just buy one and be done with it, but I want to get the best for my money as I'm not too fond of spending 400E on a GPU only for it to be mediocre 2 years later. I play at 1080p.
Anyway, I'm currently on z87, G3258 at 4.1 and R9 280X. I'm play on 5 because when I turn it up to 6-7 the GPU fans start to spin a lot and I don't like the noise.
I wanted to change to the new Ryzen comp, but I play only WoW, so I can't justify the difference. I'm aiming to get a used/refurbished i5 4690k and OC it to as much as possible. I'm going to be using a Scythe Fuma with 3 fans for it. I could buy a Deepcool Maelstrom 240, but it's 20E more and I think I'd rather spend it on the GPU. I also read AIOs are much louder than Air Coolers. My 212 barely makes noise and it has 2 fans.
Anyway, as for GPU I have the following in my mind:
GTX 1060 6gb
GTX 980ti
RX580 I the miners will stop buying all the cards
CF R9 280x
GTX 1050ti
Here's what I'm thinking, the 1060 is very good and should last me. The 980ti can be SLIed, so maybe in 2 years if I'd need it, I could buy another one and SLI it if I ever play smth else than WoW. The RX580 looks good and it's also CF, same as 980ti, later on bla bla. The R9 280x CF is more budget oriented, but could be a decent alternative if I can play it on Ultra and not spend 300E on other GPUs. I think I can get one for 100E. Would need to upgrade my 550W PSU, but I can use the new one in the future, so it's not quite a loss.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks a lot.
A small rant at the end. This mining shit has to stop. The 3 best websites where I can buy GPUs here have only TWO 1060s left. Freaking TWO!!!!! And ofc some buffed up price. /rant
