i am glad you mentioned do i need? this is the key question that people neglect or ignore.

take for example the only game you play is world of tanks  you also use your pc for day to day use and watch films etc. on , you would get away with a series 9 nvidia card and still pull over 100 fps with a decent cpu.

be aware legacy cards from nvidia and ati are the standard release of that card , dont be fooled a legacy 1070ti still rocks your world but you do need to compare model versions if your going to buy a new gpu, the 3rd party cards are nearly or i would say totally better legacy card may come with 2 gig of memory and one fan , 3rd party version of same card may have 6gig of memory , double fan and copper pipes and heatsync , there is a lot to consider and we have not even looked at price range or more important bang for buck, a group i am a member of  quite a few members last month all pre ordered ryzen cpus the dawn of a new age ? lol , ryzen need their own motherboards and memory as well ,??? money , money,money. and still the i7 kicks the shit out of it after all the hype. the 1080ti released this month you couldnt pre order because so many people had beat you to it , but when you look at it they are for 4k gaming on a 4k monitor , you would also need a stonkin motherboard and cpu to see the benifits of having one of these cards , we are not talking hundreds here we are in the thousands,when ever new top of the range stuff gets released like the last few months its the ideal time to dip into the second hand market. i have seen 1060s and 480s for under £200 both until recently (pre christmas) were the muts nuts when it came to top end cards , shop around , ask questions , shop again ask some more questions , just dont go to pc world and say to yourself i think i will have that.
