Hey guys need help quickly, i own a i7 3820, and im planning on buying a USED 1070 8gb. My question is,

1) Which brand shall i go for? MSI, EVGA, Asus etc...
2) there are OC versions of the card.. is it worth the extra money?
3) how much would you say is a acceptable price for a used 1070? £ only please.
4) bottleneck calculator says that i would get a 10.01% bottleneck. People however have said that website is bullshit. thoughts?
5) ive been also looking at 1060 6gb... but i feel like 1070 is more future-proof and id be better off with that card over the 1060 thoughts? im running at 1080p btw.

many thanks.

1 used without a warranty I'd go evga or Asus, evga has a better product track record and ftw cards are 9 times out of ten going to at least oc better than most and bottlneck depends on resolution @1080p 60 fps locked with an i7 you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway

1440p GPU dependant games won't bottlneck at all

You won't be cpu bottlenecked unless you're trying to run 1080p 240
