Posted September 30, 2019 Radeon 5700XT is the best bang for the buck, not sure about how your 4 cores CPU will handle the GPU. Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler. Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15 If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

Also, if the used market is viable, a 1070ti maybe? it would be well cheaper, leaving you some leftover cash for a 6600 or higher (maybe a K model if your mobo can do anything with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 30, 2019 I don't think that buying the bare minimum for his needs now is a good idea, i would see a step further by buying a the XT model, if he want to play 1440p one day he won't have to buy another GPU Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.
