Help me choose a GPU

Hello I need to choose a gpu for my build but I can't decide which one to choose. I'd like to choose one amongst these 3:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/6xM323/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-8gb-nitro-video-card-11266-09-20g

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7bL7YJ/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-windforce-oc-video-card-gv-n1060wf2oc-3gd

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/JCdxFT/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-8gb-pulse-video-card-11266-36-20g

Please help me choose, which one is the best and why. Also the cpu I'm using is the ryzen 5 1600.

The 1060 you linked to also starts at £190 on the cheapest listing. As Ascel has said, the jump from a 570 to 580 for less than £30 is an absolute no brainer, and makes it very difficult to consider the 570 good value.

I looked at some benchmarks and the card you linked gets on average 3 to 4 fps more which isn't worth paying an extra £20

The benchmarks I've seen paint a larger gap than that, but it's been a while since I properly looked at the 500 series and I don't know what games/system parameters you're using for your comparisons either. However even if the performance gap isn't huge right now, the technical differences between the two cards give the 580 that little bit of extra headroom that make the small amount of added expense worth it for a little extra longevity as a usable card. If the price different was like £50+ then yeah, I'd just stick with the 570, but for the sake of £20 it's much easier to justify.

It is, definitely grab that while it's that price!
Thanks
My build is basically
Ryzen 5 1600
8gb ddr4 3000mhz
A320m DGS
THE RX CARD you suggested
A wireless WiFi adapter
An evga 600W 80+ plus

Is the right choice in terms of PSU

Decenty brand, plenty of power and 80+ rated, it will be fine :yy:

Is everything purchased yet or are you just getting ready to pull the trigger?
The mobo, WiFi adapter, PSU and an SSD, also 2 120 mm fans. That's all I got for now. The case Im getting is the deepcool frame.
