oh so this cx550 is pretty cheap thats not a huge purchase thank you

This news is quite distressing is this PSU that bad it said the 2060 only needed 500W I dont understand the issue is it like a fire hazard?

I have very troubling news looking at my EVGA PSU box it does say "500 watt 80 plus certified power supply" another predicament of mine is that I received a 100 dollar gift card for amazon I must use so the GPU will have to come from there I dont see the 400 dollar 2070 on that site Thank you for the advice I need to save money where I can especially if my PSU is a big issue

This is an interesting development I will most certainly do more research. My power supply is a EVGA 500 Watt I was under the impression that they are the best of the best in terms of PSU. My friends are all sharing their AMD card horror stories and it has scared me off from the 5700xt because Im a student and money is tight especially with the ongoing events in the world. If I am able to sell my Ryzen 5 1400 and rx 470 4gb plus some other electronics i plan on buying a ryzen 7 3700 thus eliminating the bottleneck issue.

doing some more research and after consulting friends and looking at reviews it appears that Nvidia just provides a superior product. I think instead of the rx5700xt I will purchase the 2060super. I was considering going bigger to a 2070s but my psu is only 500 watt and the money i save on the 2060 vs the 2070 can go to upgrading my cpu. Will my Ryzen cpu not work with the Nvidia card and does your previous bottleneck advice apply to this card the same?

right now i have 2 sticks of DDR4 3000 ram, my monitor is only 1080p 60fps but i plan on buying a new monitor with the money Ill get from selling my old console stuff and current gpu. Down the line i wanna get a 1440p 144fps monitor and wanna be able to play at a good fps. My main games I play at the moment are destiny 2 but I want to be able to play upcoming games like cyberpunk at good levels. Thank you for the feedback

Im new to PC gaming and currently have a ryzen 5 1400 cpu and a rx 470 4gb as my GPU. It was a good starter build but im looking to upgrade my gpu to get some better graphics and frames because ive noticed my PC struggles to run a lot of games; some cant be played at all. I have saved up enough money to afford the GPU i want the RX 5700xt it meets all my needs at a good price. I can easily afford the gpu and was really excited to buy it but then a friend made me aware of something called bottlenecking. If i buy this gpu will i be forced to buy a new a cpu to use it to its fullest power and if i continue using my current cpu with this graphics card will it 1.Damage anything in my pc or 2. hinder performance so badly it wasnt worth buying it. Please send some cheap compatible cpu options i could potentially upgrade too or just let me know if im making a big deal over this issue.
