Recently acquired a MSI Infinite A 8RC tower. Its an i7 8700 system, spec here , The standard 1060 6gb is a bit underwhelming for what I will want from it, so was thinking of either a 1080ti or maybe even an RTX card. Based on the rest of the spec, what card would work best for the likes of Warzone etc. Or would I be better selling it and building new?
Best graphics card match for a i7 8th gen gaming pc.

1080Ti or the equivalent newer cards will be a good upgrade, and shouldn't be bottlenecked too much especially at higher resolutions.
Obviously the more VRAM the better for longevity, so 7600XT might be a better choice than say a RTX4060

liking that chart, Im up on Nvidia but couldnt tell one AMD over another recently. I take it the Bronze 500w is enough for anything up to a 3070ti?1080Ti or the equivalent newer cards will be a good upgrade, and shouldn't be bottlenecked too much especially at higher resolutions.

If the PSU is a very limited one, I'd look at the RX 6600, TPU's database has it as 72% faster (raster, no upscaling, no ray tracing), which isn't bad and the power consumption is around ~130 watts. The RTX 4060 also has decently low power consumption, around the same level, but the CPU overhead can be higher for nvidia and you're paying a lot more for a 8GB card which is not ideal.
I'm not sure which make Warzone favours, but I have a feeling it is AMD?

From NVIDIAs own specs they recommend a 750w for a 3070ti, and a 600w for a 3060ti (whereas officially your 1060ti only needs a 400W PSU)
AMD recommend a 600W PSU for their 7600XT.
So with a 500W PSU you may struggle, and the 6600 @Tetras mentioned (and the variants 6600XT/ 6650XT) are a good shout

AMD to the rescue with this one, simple really,
7600XT!
cracking card, with really mature drivers that are updated often to really support newer games after they are relesed that bring the performace right up there with many games, a very healthy 16GB Vram and made by sapphire, the best builders of AMD cards, here
I'm pretty sure that COD was buit up around AMD cards too

7600XT. The 8700 non K is a 65w CPU so 500w is certainly enough if it's a decent unit. What's the PSU model?

Will check when im home later, it was the standard 80 bronze in the MSI tower.
