just got a new 1440p monitor, i think need some advice

[starLivitation]

hi all,

I need some advice on my PC setup. i just got this nice monitor, the screen is crisp and clear, 1440p with 75Mhz. now my current CPU is i5-4460 , and GPU GTX 960 . i am considering upgrading my GPU to either 1060 3GB , or 1060 6GB or 1070 , i really dont want to spend too much .

my current situation:

8-man: I have to turn the settings down to standard (laptop) to see a decent frame rate.
housing area: there is a drop in frames in high(laptop), so i am forced to use standard(desktop) so i don't notice a frame drop.

my goal is to just have the game look better without dropping too many frames. the only other game i play is League of legends , and that one has no issues. so i am looking for an upgrade that just focuses on FFXIV.

can you share some similar setups for 1440p 75Mhz? and what worked for you? or recommend me something to buy.

I am really leaning towards the MSI 1060 3GB cause its so cheap, but some say the 6 GB version is better ( doh ), but i am not sure if FFXIV actually wiil need those 6GB?

MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3GB GDDR5 << this is the cheapest option to go for @ 160$ in my local store.


MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G GDDR5 > this will cost me 226$

finally this MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ARMOR OC 8GB GDDR5 >> @ 276$

other notable mentions :
Asus Dual AMD Radeon RX 580 OC 8GB GDDR5 : @ 255$
ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 O8G Dual-Fan OC 8GB GDDR6 @ 531$

I also heard this game does need more CPU power the more people or objects in the screen to process, so my old i5-4460 might bottleneck, but i am gonna delay upgrading it maybe till next year. but if you got any advice on this, please feel free to tell me .

i just did a benchmark on 1440p and the result was very high, even though i could see drawing delays during the thing, and frames being dropped.
