[Solved] Buy it now advice RX 5700 XT

[Lee989]

Just found an offer on a PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card which with code PARTYTIME drops to £315. However the offer is only valid until midnight tonight.

 

I've not made a final decision on my build specs, but I was wondering should I buy this now and build around it. It seems like a good saving and a decent quality card?

The GPU's I had bookmarked as potentials on PCPartPicker are:

• "PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 8 GB RED DRAGON Video Card" costing £330
• "Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING Video Card" costing £300

 

So I feel like getting an XT version right in the middle price-wise is a good idea?

 

Or should I wait until I know exactly the build I want before hunting around for discounts (I missed out on the sabrant rocket discount ).

 

For context, the build is for something to play games on like Civ 5/6, Age of empires e.c.t. Just in case that influences GPU decisions.

Go for it

I lost out on so many deals lately that I was worried I might regret not getting it.

So for better or for worse, i've bought it! Hoping I see some CPU discounts in the next few days now.

 

I guess this means i'm not backing out of building this rig now...
