Ram that quick is double the price, and the cpu is the best value I could find, prices are really high here because of taxes and stuff, and the local currency is struggling 

what country?

So I started building a new computer and am trying to figure out what graphics card to buy and here's what's available on the market:
ASUS ROG STRIX RX570 8G : ≈ 172 USD

RX 5600 XT GAMING OC 6GB : ≈  414 USD

RTX 2060 WindForce OC 6GB : ≈  500 USD

So the question is, If I go RTX would I need to upgrade anywhere in the near future? or should I just go for the cheaper RX570 cause it'll probably do

Sadly newegg, amazon and ebay aren't available here and the equivalent to 172 USD is the best I could find for RX570 8G, is a 2060 worth the 500$?

rx 5600 XT = rtx 2060 but cheaper,

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I'm planing on getting a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, 2x8GB DDR4 2666mHz and I have an old Thoughpower 600w PSU
I might get another psu but modular ones are out of the table 

get better ram, 3200mhz is not that much. if you upgrade the cpu you could do 3600mhz smoothly

Pretty much lol

anyway if you're just doing 1080p on high, not ultra, then get the rx 570. if you want ultra 1080p, maybe medium 1440p, then get the 5600xt. dont get a 2060, 5600xt is around a 2060 super which is a lot more
