Putting together some upgrades for my brother's old 2500k system exclusively for WoW, 1080p@60Hz.
Seen offers of a 970 for $250 and can get a new 1060 for around there. Not sure what my best option is in this range. Saw someone mention the "Canadian peso" a couple days ago and it couldn't be more accurate.
If you can get a 1060 for anywhere between $240-270, I'd buy the 1060. The 1060 outperforms the 970, and has almost equal performance to the 980.
Although those are great cards, an rx 470, or rx 480 would also be great.
