Is it worth waiting?

Initially I had planned for r5 2600 and rx580 .... but as of I know I got to know that the 3rd gen would be better...

1). Any tentative dates for the release of

   a) 3rd gen

   b)navi alternative of rx580

2) will it worth waiting ?

3) by June-July will they be out to the public ?

4). Will prices be the same as the last gen.  or there shall be some hike in prices ?... ( some website suggest it’ll be of the same price as 2nd gen ryzen cpus )

 

need your help!  Thanks

None of this is known, If you can wait it would be smarter to do so though.

Navi alternative won't be coming soon, from what I remember from techlinked. 

 

1660 right around the corner though

Well because ryzen 3 works on ryzen 2 sockets I would personally buy a Ryzen 2 cpu and just upgrade when the new generation comes out. And ofcourse sell the old cpu.

Ryzen 3 might come out in June/July but it could also be deylaed as late December based on what I've read so far.

Coincidence? Or maybe I know more than meets the eye?

Don't buy the 1660, you can nab a 1070 off eBay for about the same or less, and offers better performance than the 1660 card. Heck if my finances were better I'd sell my 1070 FE for a slight upgrade for the RTX2060
