Hello everyone, i'm building my firs PC ( for gaming) and i came across a dilemma, i have two cpu-gpu combinations both at same price (in my country) and idk wich one to chose.

Combination 1: XFX RX 590 8gb (322 USD) + ryzen 2600x(cooler included) (242 usd) = 564 usd -This one comes with 3 games:Resident Evil, Devil May Cry5, 2 copies of The division 2 ( i think i could sell one but idk yet)

Combination 2: RTX 2060 Gigabyte 6gb (443 usd) + ryzen 1600x (160 usd) = 603 usd - This one comes with Anthem/Battlefield V and  the Wraith rgb cooler

 

This is my first post, i came here because i know you guys have experience with this kind of stuff.

 

*PS1: i know the prices may look exaggerated but it is what it is, Europe prices suck

*PS2: sorry for my english and potential grammatical mistakes ( english is theoretically my third language).

 

Thank you very much for your time.

Welcome to LTT forums.

 

Personally I would mix, take 2600x with RTX2060, that would be the best option.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Thank you for your opinions guys. 

 

I forgot to mention from the start, i will be playing on a monitor 1080p 75hz(wich i'll need to buy) but i can go a bit higher and buy a monitor with 144hz refresh rate with the first combination, with the second it'll kill my wallet.
