the build i currently have is 

 

intel core i7 8700k

370e striz motherboard

8gb cosair 2400 ddr4 ram

500gb ssd

windows 10 

750ti for graphics

550v psu

dell 27inch 75 refresh freesnyc monitor 1080p

cooling i am currently running a few fans semi quiet at idle its about 22 degrees with videos and web browsing about 27 28 and during long game session max i hit is 60

So my question is during christmas ill have around 200 saved up maybe can push it to 250 for a small upgrade. Right now i been looking at the rx580 as the price isnt that bad now compared to before or should i aim for another card? used cards can work to or should i focus on a different part completely. I mainly play fortnite i am trying to limit the upgrades i have to make down the line so any advice would be great i also plan to add another 8gbs of ram however i saw that 16gbs is not that much work would using 2 4gb sticks and 2 8gb sticks be a dumb idea? sorry for my lack of understanding any part you think i should upgrade now to avoid upgrades in the future would be great to thank you

i also have a sli bridge so i could maybe run dual gpus used? like 2 rx570s? my goal is to limit upgrades down the line atleast for 2 years. and be able to run vr decently :). I want an amd gpu to go with my freesnyc monitor or is it not worth it over a gtx

You can't use an SLI bridge with AMD. A single powerful graphics card is better, so get yourself a 1070 off eBay.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Well, most of them are good. Exept for some cards like the msi armor. Xfx, asus, msi, sapphire and gigabyte are good ones to look for
