Like I said last night I like to shoot for the $200 mark, at that price you
get more life out of your purchase as it doesn't have two feet out the door
and don't feel ripped off when the new hotness comes out the month after
you buy the $500 card causing it's price to drop.
I also like to check Tom's Hierarchy chart to see how my current card
is compared to the new card and see if an upgrade is worth it per
their recommendations.

"I don’t recommend upgrading your graphics card unless the replacement
card is at least three tiers higher. Otherwise, the upgrade is somewhat
parallel, and you may not even notice a worthwhile difference."
The 1060 is a great card, right now. I say go for it. Always get the best
single card you can afford before thinking SLI.
I'm hoping next year we see some game-changing improvements from one or
both of the GPU makers, but it'll all probably remain the standard ~20%
improvement per generation.

Yeah as long as it can get above 60 FPS on BF1 at 1080p on high settings
that would be good enough. I also like to hold on to my graphics cards for
as long as possible. I still have my 560TI which was below the minimum
requirements for BF4.

I always get the best I can afford because you'll get longer life out of
them and won't need to upgrade as often. The 1060 should be great at that
price for a while, but they often come out with a lower end TI version a
little later for around $200.

So I need to update my graphics card soon, probably around when bf1
comes out, maybe around Thanksgiving with the deals that will be available
then. So I normally spend $150 on a graphic card, but I believe the 1060 is
$200, so I may be willing to go to $200. What should I get?
