any help will be appreciated
 
Is that a 1080p screen? You could always save a bit of cash if you want and go for a 4gb RX 480 / don't require an 8gb model?

Sorry for all the links. ;) :D

Pictures can only inform you so much, but I especially like the look of the XFX 480 - though I tend to regard their products as style over substance.

BO3 is DX11, so the 1060 may well be your best bet. Either way, it'll be a small difference between the cards.

I'd still go for the 8gb card if it's within your budget because I can't really see anything else in your rig that could use the money instead. 4gb will be enough for now, but 8gbh provides better futureproofing. Also, the Gigabyte G1 is my favourite and it only comes in 8gb:D
 
Unfortunately so. You can't really go wrong with any of them. Whatever you decide to get, it will give your current card a right licking.

could you by any chance stretch to £300? if you're willing to spend £250 just try and find another £50 and buy a sapphire fury card for £299.99 honestly they're a fantastic gpu for the price and it gets better as the res increases so if you decide to up the res it'll start to shine more though still at 1080p its a fantastic card and is a better bet than a 480, 1060

even with my case it would be a very tight fit that card looks huge

Yeah, the Zotac one isn't a bad looker. I'm not a great lover of silver / white cards, but that looks pretty fair. :)
