Posted July 31, 2019 I'm very new to the whole pc building thing and am planning on building my own pc. I had a friend recommend me this Graphics Card (https://www.newegg.ca/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-100411p8gocl/p/N82E16814202278?Item=N82E16814202278) but I'm able to buy (https://www.newegg.ca/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-gtx-1660-ti-gaming-x-6g/p/N82E16814137391?Description=msi gaming geforce gtx 1660 ti&cm_re=msi_gaming_geforce_gtx_1660_ti-_-14-137-391-_-Product) for about the same price. Which one of these would be the better option? I personally don't know what is what and need to do more research but I thought I would come on here and ask if anyone could help me out. Thanks in advance (wasn't quite sure where it is people ask questions so I posted here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
