Best GPU (Graphics card)?
What graphics card should I get for be games. 1060 1070 1080 1080ti titan x or titanxp. I thought about 1080, but then I may aswell get the 1080ti. But then why not the titan x and so on. I feel 1060 isn't good enough for sure. Which should I buy and why? I play be games and has and cod at high fps and resolution. Also want to edit and have 2 monitors running off of it.

It mostly depends on the screen resolution of your monitor, or at least the monitor you plan to buy.
6gb GTX 1060 for 1080p @60hz. This will max out most games at this spec.
GTX 1070 for 1440p @ 60hz or 1080p @ 144hz high settings. This card wilp max out all games at 1080p while delivering 75fps. At 1080p the GTX 1070 is 35% faster than the 6gb GTX 1060. I've never been too much of a fan of the GTX 1060 because of how well the GTX 1070 performs. For the most part the GTX 1070 slightly outperforms a 6gb GTX 980ti, unless the 980ti has been massively overclocked.
GTX 1080 for 1080p @ 144hz at max or near max settings. 4k at high settings as well. The GTX 1080 is 20% faster on average than a GTX 1070, 18% faster at 1080p. Since Cryptominers have targeted the GTX 1070 for their mining operations but they have left the GTX 1080 alone, the GTX 1080 isn't that much more than the GTX 1070 and it's a better value. This card may be mass overkill for 1080p @ 60hz but the price has offset that. In fact, early last July I was going to buy a GTX 1070 but since the price had been jacked up, I spent the extra $50 to just get the GTX 1080 instead.
GTX 1080ti for 2160p at 60hz max settings or 1440p @ 144hz high settings. At 1080p the GTX 1080ti is 25% faster than the GTX 1080 but at 2160p the GTX 1080ti is 35% faster. If you're playing at either of these 2 resolutions, it's almost worth it to buy the GTX 1080ti for any of these exotic resolutions.
For some reason, Nvidia is going to release a GTX 1070ti card which is expected to be 10% faster than the standard GTX 1070.
There isnt much of a reason to buy the Titan Xp, when you consider how well an overclocked GTX 1080ti like the EVGA FTW3 performs. The other problem with the Titan Xp is the stock cooler (aka Founder's Edition cooler) doesn't keep up well with the heat output. If you want decent temps and not a lot of fan noise then pick up a card like the EVGA FTW3 or maybe the SC2/Black Edition card.

If you don't have a budget get the 1080ti. It's better than the titan x and less expensive.
