I was considering of getting a Vega 56 since its the same price (or even cheaper) than 1660ti but i m not sure if it will work on a 550w PSU (Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold).
Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600 - stock
16gb DDR4
2x 480gb SSDs (sata)
1x 120gb SSD (m.2)
There are RX 5700XT models but not the regular 5700 to my knowing. Only non reference model that I found is a ASUS one which is 60k rsd (500e, reference isnt much better at 450e).
I would but there aren't any available in my country (Serbia), i can try and wait a while but for the heat i thought about just putting a fan that would blow the air directly to the GPU (Mounted on the side panel).
So i was looking to buy a RX 5700 (reference, sapphire) and wanted to know if a 550w psu (Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold) would be enough, or if i could get away with a 5700XT. My current CPU is Ryzen 5 2600 but i will be upgrading to Ryzen 4600 (?) when its released.
Or should i go for 2060 (non super) or 1660ti?
Honestly, i don't know either but i think you can set it in BIOS somewhere. I just got a $3 fan an connected it to the psu directly so it spins at 100% all the time.
Resolution, Refresh rate? I think that a 1060 3gb or a 1650 would do just fine for a 144hz display i think, look up on youtube for a benchmark.
edit: or a rx 570
1x8, and when you play CS:GO set cpu affinity to cores 0, 2, 4, 6 it gave me a significant boost of FPS (from 250 to 350)*
Edit: *slightly exaggerated but it was quite a boost
Ryzen 5 3600, but download the latest BIOS for your motherboard because you need to update it so you can actually use the PC. Later down the road you can overclock it if needed to match the 3600x.
