Video Card Upgrade?

I know I'm kinda new to this whole PC build scene, but I'm currently running a Quad Core R3 3200g paired with a 4gig RX 570. I was thinking about upgrading to the 8gig RX 580 near the end of the year. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the 580? Or should I just save my money and get a better monitor setup (since I'm still running everything on a 32 inch Roku TV) ?

I think that really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.   I personally would wait until the new AMD RNDA GPUs and NVIDIA 3000 GPUs are released.  

 

The older GPUs should drop in price (one would hope).

I think that might be what I'm going to wind up doing, tbh. The 570 is still a capable card. The final component I need for my system is a 1 TB SSD for my game drive, and I'll get that next month. I might just go ahead and grab my monitor and only upgrade if it becomes absolutely necessary. I just wanted folks opinion on it before I commit either way. I've still got about five months before I decide, but it's always nice to have folks advice on stuff, since I'm kinda new to this whole scene and all.
