gtx 1070 or vega 56

[GITGAMING]

I am looking for suggestions on whether i should get a gtx 1070 or vega 56, I am buying used and they seem to be about a similar price.

this will be running with a ryzen 5 2600x and 8gb of ram, my monitor does support freesync

 

thanks in advance

Vega 56. 

 

Also keep in mind you will need a high quality PSU

Then V56 is a clear choice.

It depends on the 1070 you find at the same money. They are about the same. I would prefer the vega one though in addition that you also have a freesync monitor.

Could you recommend a psu?

Seasomic Focus Plus Gold 650

EVGA supernova G2 650

 

They are both technically the same unit under different names. The 550 watt is fine aswell.

one last thing, do you think i could run it with my current cooler master mwe 500 watt for a couple of weeks before upgrading my psu?

shure, 500 watts is enough. you might have to consider it running with Radeon Chill on if you run into issues. 

 

 

 

just had a look on its spec sheet. it should work fine, you might even consider keeping that and use that instead of upgrading. though i will recommend getting a higher quality unit.
