Upgrading my pc, need advice!

[JackJW]

Budget (including currency): 900GBP

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming at 1080p 144hz

Other details currently have a ryzen 5 2600 with a 1060 6gb gpu, 16GB Ram 2400Mhz. 

 

For £900 I can buy a pc with a ryzen 5 3600 and a 5700XT Mech OC 8GB, 16GB Ram 3200Mhz.

 

Will this be enough of an upgrade to justify buying it. Also any information you can give me about it will help, thank you.

Apparently the 5700xt performs similar to the 2070 super, do you have any issues gaming at 144hz?

3700x & 5700xt? Doubt you need a new board and RAM... :I

That's what I heard also. I almost went with the 5700XT, but switched due to the heinous amount of issues that people have been having with that card. I thought better safe then sorry. But No issues so far. Runs like a dream

9/10 is probably driver related last 10 is the annaversary edition which had board failures and even unstable OCs on the GPU out of box... But yeah driver issues is probably fixed soon or it is, why where they there to begin with? 5000 series was first non GCN card AMD have made in ages so it was sorta to be expected when they went to RDNA2... Are all of the drivers bad? No there are lists of stable drivers on the AMD reddits.

I know it was driver related. I have a friend who has the same card with zero issues, I personally just didn't feel like dealing with the hassle.

Oh yeah no for sure. I just chose Nvidia because I was hearing more negative than good reviews on the 5700XT. I think AMD needs more time to flatten out their driver issues.

Once they are more familiar with RDNA it will be, GCN is much more mature than RDNA...
