Hello!
I'm currently debating with myself whether to get the RX580 and a 27" Freesync monitor or wait for a price drop on the 1070 or just grab a 60 with a regular 1080p monitor. Reason I'm going for these options is because I'm doing a build for the wife (surprise) and I want to put my current 970 in her build and upgrade to one of these options. Normally I would opt for the most fps in my price range but the fact that I need a new monitor is going to set me back at least another $200. Plus, I can't afford a gsync monitor, which makes me less bullish on a 1070. What are the peanut gallery's thoughts?
