Sup boyze, need some insight.

Graphics card started showing distorted lines all over the screen yesterday... ( RIP ) Nvidia GTX580

It's Alienware Aurora R3 that I bought in 2011 ( i know , alienware boohoo )

The PC specs:
-intel i7 2600k (overclocked ) liquid cooled
-16gig ram DDR3 1600hz Default Alienware RAM
-NVIDIA Geforce GTX 580 ( DIED YESTERDAY )
-850W power supply
-Default Dell/alienware motherboard...
-Soundblaster soundcard
-1TB Western Digital HDD
+ minor things I guess

Right now I'm only thinking of changing the graphics card...
My question is...
With this computer spec, If i were to replace the fried GTX580 with, lets say a MSI RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC ( like 280$ )

Would I still be okay if I wanted to play most games at medium graphics?
What would you recommend.?

I was thinking about the Nvidia GTX 1050, it's like 130-150$..

So for 150$, what would you guys suggest? Keep in mind my build was running a GTX580..

Would the 900 series be better than the GTX 1050? or for that price should I go with AMD?

I wouldn't.
Why by something that on par with old shit.
Just buy used and get better.
