I just bought an impulse cyber-Monday purchase - a 144hz 1080p 24" monitor.

I play a lot of BF1 and other FPS, but my current Radeon 280X can barely drive BF1 at 50-60 FPS, so I know going 144HZ won't mean anything on my current card... so this $monitor buy is now going to cost me... As I need a new video card!

Can anyone tell me which would be a better video card would be for my new Acer GN246HL monitor for FPS?

I am leaning towards a 1060, just because I hear they OC better... But maybe one is better in BF1?

Any suggestions? And some hot cyber Monday deal recommendations would be awesome.

Thanks CP.
