Hi,

I'm going to buy a graphics card in a week or so. But I'm not really sure which one I should choose. I wanted to go with Gigabyte Gaming Rx 580 8gb but the Gigabyte 1060 6gb is on my mind too. Can you help me, please? 

Btw. I have AMD CPU and I want to play Lol mainly. Also streaming 2. (I can not go any higher with price, Its all I have for like a month)

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I would go between the 1060 6 gb and the 580 8 gb. get the cheapest of both. they go on par with performence, both can (official or not) run freesync, and are fully inside your budget

 

about the gigabyte, I assume you mean the windforce? that one is fine, but look around for card like the sapphire nitro and pulse, xfx gts and xxx, msi gaming (x), asus dual, strix and arez (arez and strix is the same)

I would get the RX 580 over the 1060. I would also get the XFX, Nitro+, or Red Devil over the Gigabyte, should be priced similarly. 

 

If you want to go used you could  probably get a GTX 1070 of Ebay. This would probably be my choice as I've never had a problem with used cards.

@ChewToy! If I want to go with the used one, which GTX 1070 should I choose? Some people say that the Gigabyte version is good.

Some decent ones are Asus Strix, Zotac AMP, MSI Gaming X, EVGAs.. Gigabyte is probably fine but wouldn't be my first choice as there are just better alternatives.. I just looked on Ebay and a lot of them are priced similarly.. I personally love the Strix cards and they are known for having great coolers.

I would suggest you to get a cheaper one from both of them as the performance is almost same
