I am currently thinking of buying the reference RX Vega 56 due to how it fits my black-and-red themed PC. Do you think it is wise of me to buy a used Vega 56 (used for 4~5 months) right now for about 570 US dollars? Or should I just wait for GPU prices to drop? I was thinking of buying a used one because the prices of the new ones are around 1300 US dollars right now in South Korea. Currently using Intel's integrated graphics.

the rear I/O is kind of inaccessible from the outside

The two USB ports will probably be taken by my mouse and keyboard.

I am currently planning to build in the Phanteks EVOLV SHIFT case. I love how it looks and how it takes up so less space. However, there is one small problem: The I/O. There are only two USB 3.0 ports, and that's it. No headphone jacks. The I/O on the motherboard is hidden inside the case. I really need to access the audio ports on the motherboard, but I don't know what to do. Please help

thanks

Should I go for the two extra cores on the 1600 or go for the wider range of XFR on the 1500X?
