Upgrading my GPU?

[JoshB2084]

Thinking about get used  RX570 4 or 8GB and 1080p & 75hz Freesync monitor on  my new PC. I know everyone might tell me: Upgrading my CPU and PSU first. Any suggestions for upgrading my GPU?

PSU first.

Yeah, I'd start there.

Can you explain why  Corsair CXM (2015) 450W PSU isn't enough for single GPU?

Sure, according to your sig, you got it in 2015. That's 5 years worth of work and degradation, I doubt it's pushing 450 watts any more, probably closer to 400, and new GFX cards are power hungry.

No, my new PC is built in Dec 2019. Everything is new... I know 450W isn't an option, and I need GPU badly. Any opinions for NVIDIA GPU?

if u using a AMD card i would upgrade the psu first.

 

nvidia cards aren't that much power using as amd cards what means u can stay a while with a nvidia one (i recommend to upgrade psu with gpu together) and upgrade the psu later.

What's about 5500 XT?  Is it power hungry? I refuse to upgrading my PSU till give me a honestly reason for this. I never overclocking anything except changed XMP.

I would go for the rx570, you can get them for a steal at Microcenter if you time it right. I got mine for 129$. Your PSU should be fine, but if you want anything added later you may want to relook at it then. The PSU is the easiest thing to brick a whole system with if it fails, that's why everyone is so on about that, but from what I can tell you should be fine, just running under peak efficiency. (most power supplies operate at peak efficiency at 50% sustained usage, giver or take a few points. If I remember right. )

Interestingly. So that why I need to get better and more powerful than my PSU, but my PSU is new and hardly running up to 150 watts.  I  looking forward to 5500XT than RX 570. It should be better than last generation GPU.

 If you can catch it on a good sale I say go for it.  I tend to wait until a graphics card is below $200 before I consider it.

How about this one? I don't mind noise, my PC is too quiet, it is creepy to me.
