Dropit

How much more is an RX 5700? Because it's a better card factoring in the bonus features.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

^^^ the Sapphire Nitro+ is more of a competitor to the Strix, the Pulse is a lower tier product.

Nitro+ and the Strix are very comparable.  Love my Nitro+, been using almost a year now.  Thinking about swapping out for the Nitro+ 5700XT when it comes out, would consider selling my Vega 56 if you wanted it.

oh, getting it to German wouldn't be very cost effective for you. The shipping from Seattle to Germany would be pretty rough on that.
