Hi

I recently upgraded my pc from

i5 6400 2.7GHz

asus b150m-a

Asus 1060 Dual

16gb ddr4 2133MHz

500w 80+

To

Ryzen 5 2600x

Gigabyte b450 Aorus M

16gb ddr4 2133MHz (The same)

Asus 1060 Dual (Same)

650w 80+ Bronze

 

So I really want to play the newest titles in 1080p 144Hz at most times. So I've been looking around at maybe a 2060 in which case I would buy the MSI Ventus 2060 6gb XS OC, it's like 420 usd and is the cheapest in Denmark where I'm from. 

Any other ideas or is the 2060 the best solution? I'm not willing to go much higher than 420 usd.

Have a great day everyone reading this :))

Hello fellow dane! :)

 

The 2060 GPU core itself is good but the amount of VRAM that is paired with it is a little low. You might have turn down the textures a bit for extreme high fidelity games. Otherwise its a good graphics card. The MSI Ventus 2060 6gb XS OC is good but might I suggest the ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 DUAL as it has better cooling and should be a little more silent. (Please note that the ASUS graphics card is a 2.5 slots wide because of the extra cooling.)

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

Problem with Ventus XS is the loud fans. If you're ok with that, buy it. I'll look into Zotac, EVGA and Gigabyte for cheap cards though

For $420 budget in USD, I'd grab this:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/h766Mp/gigabyte-radeon-rx-vega-64-8gb-video-card-gv-rxvega64gaming-oc-8gd

(Granted that's a great sale. I'm not sure where we are looking.)

 

A Vega 56 is a good competitor to the 2060, often at a savings. The Vega 64 is closer to the 2070, again at a good savings.

Your CPU may struggle to achieve that with your current ram, what have you managed to overclock your kit to? Ryzen is sensitive to ram speeds even at 60fps gameplay levels.

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

How many watts do I need?
