hello my current pc is a i5 4460 and 8gb ram  ddr3

 

I'm looking to buy a graphics card, im torn between gtx 1060 6gb, which is around 320€ in my country, RX 580 which is around 340 and the RX 590 which is 300€

 

What i don't understand is why is the RX 590 so much cheaper than the 580 and the 1060 if it's better

 

thanks in advance

Yes if the RX 590 really is cheaper than those, there's no reason to consider them.

Grab the 590. If its also the cheapest for you then great.

The RX590 makes the most sense in this case.

Especially since it comes with free games.

but why is 590 so much cheaper than the others ones if it's supposed to be better-?

 

sorry im not too informed in this stuff

sometimes there are just strange deals, my MX500 500GB SSD was cheaper than the A400 490GB one which is slower and has less space

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
