$500 GPU Budget, but which one?

[P3rfectLIVE]

Hello! I am building a new PC and I was wondering what is the best GPU for $500. 
Hopping to have an x570, (maybe b550) with a Ryzen 5 3600.

This is what im thinking, what are y'all's thoughts?

Since you are building new PC at that price the 2070 super seems to be the obvious choice unless you can wait a bit longer till the next generation GPUs arrive from both AMD and Nvidia.

I hear this a lot, but very few people can explain why to go with this card.

cheaper with almost all the performance

What would the benefits of waiting for the new gpu sets to drop? I'm assuming the price would fall a little but a 2070 is still a 2070. I could understand waiting to see what AMD brings to the table.

Better value for money. But the 2070 super has ray tracing and dlss cores which should be considered too while making a buying choice.

the new cards from both sides will bring higher end performance to a lower cost so 2070 super performance maybe only 250$ vs the 375$+

Exactly and newer cards should offer better ray tracing performance too and with dlss 2.0 even better.

Ray Tracing is an interesting purchase, I feel its pointless since the newer GPUs will have a them anyway, so buying it would be like buying a 980 when you know the 1080 is coming out.

because the 5700xt is cheaper and has the same if not better performance than a 2070(ive gotten mine to about the same performance as a stock 2080)

I won't be able to purchase a newer 3000 series cards as they will be out of my price range. 
I am hopping that this GPU will last me atleast 5+ years of atleast 144fps. (I don't care much for super high ultra realistic graphics, I play comp so the most frames possible the better.) 

I am reluctant to go with an AMD GPU, I know a lot about NVIDIA products and very very little about AMD GPUs. I do have a freesync monitor though so hey.

Yes it's your choice if you are willing to wait. It will be worth I purchased a RTX 2060 around 15 days back but it was an upgrade from GT 710 and I couldn't wait longer to play games if I had a better GPU which could actually game i would have definitely waited.

This one cost the same and has better cooling, it will run quieter:

100% agreed.

 

get a 5700 and follow my guide here to flash it to a 5700 xt, 100% recommend, you will get the better clocks of a 5700xt, but with a few less cores, it will save you $50.

 

I can recommend this card , ive flashed it with a 5700xt bios, it has a bios switch, and stays cool at higher clocks and voltages

First of all we don't have any pricing info on the 3000 series of cards and just like a 279 USD 1660 ti offered 350 USD 1070 level performance the 3000 series should do the same too. For the same 500 USD you would get much better performance but again it's upto you if you are willing to wait or want the system right now.

Regarding the 2070 super it will definitely give you 144fps atleast at 1080p in all modern titles launched till date but 5 years it's difficult to say.
