So i currently have a 1050 in my PC. However i'm looking to upgrade to a 1070. Was wondering which would be the best one for the money to get. Thanks!

Just as a point of reference, I've been gaming on a 1060 at that resolution with great results (even on current games). Not trying to dissuade you from the 1070, but the 1060 is a huge jump over the 1050, even though it doesn't seem like it would be.

Either way you're going to have massive improvements over the 1050. Awesome
