  1. I've looked at some comparisons between the 1660 and the rx 590, they seem to be, at least, fps wise, very similar. I'm just wondering what makes you say that the 1660 is better, does it run cooler, or consume more power? I'm just wondering what you think makes it worth the $40 price difference over the rx 590?
  2. I want to build a mid range pc for gaming at 1080p, for about the $900AUD mark. This is still a rough draft but will give an idea of the sort of system I want to build. Just before I start, I want to point out that I don't necessarily need to be playing on Ultra graphics settings, as this is an upgrade from my Acer Travelmate that I have for school. I also wont primarily be playing incredibly demanding games, and although I love a good RPG I primarily play strategy games, (CIV, Total War, anything by paradox interactive). Any advice on potential problems I may find or better parts I could use for a similar price would be greatly appreciated. Most of these parts are from a local computer store, called Scorptec. It doesn't have a huge catalogue, but It does have some competitive prices, especially for Australia. CPU. Ryzen 5 2600. $200 SSD: Kingston A400 240gb. $52 HDD: My dad has a spare 1 TB hard drive that I can use, not sure what it's called. $0 Case: Silverstone Precision PS15 Black Micro ATX case. RAM: Klevv BOLT X gaming 2x8GB 3200MHz $108 Motherboard**:** MSI A320M-A PRO MAX $95 GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 590 GAMING, 8GB $295 (On sale, only $5 more than the rx 580) PSU: Corsair CV550 550W Bronze Power Supply Again, any problems that I may have with the system, along with any improvements it could have would be greatly appreciated.
  3. In Australia, trying to build a pc for gaming from about the 1000-1100 dollar price range. I'm considering using an RTX 2060, and my mates dad has offered me his old 400 Watt Power Supply with a gold rating. I'm pretty sure it's a Cooler Master PSU, but I'm not sure which one. I've seen people on this site recommending a 550 watt power supply with a bronze rating for this card and I am wondering if this PSU is comparable. I plan on having a ryzen 5 2600, or 3600, depending on how soon I make the build. (3600 is on sale for $10 more than the 2600 at my local pc shop for the next few weeks.) Obviously I know that a 550 watt would be better for future upgrades, but it's hard to walk away from a free PSU. If anyone has any answers for me they would be greatly appreciated.
