Choosing a GPU to upgrade to

[EzekielGMG]

Not much to say here other then I am wanting to upgrade my current GTX 1050 TI in the future with these parts along with it:

I might choose to wait for a zen 3 CPU instead depending on when the whole lockdown situation clears up in the UK, as all of my money is currently in euros and I can't convert them at a decent rate so by the time i actually have the money, it might be worth it to just wait instead. Other then that, from what I've gathered these parts are a good choice in terms of features, future proofing and reliability from what I've seen looking around, which is why this is under the GPU topic because I would like to know in advance what to get. But then again, I am new to this so any changes to the current list would be appreciated.

But back to the topic: if i were to get a GPU with those parts, what would be a good choice? Realistically all I'm going to be wanting to do is play games at 60FPS minimum at 1080p (since that's all my monitors support). I think I'd have a budget at about £400 with a bit of wiggle room if it'd be worth it, but cheaper options that'd give me what I'd want would be better, graphics don't matter a whole lot to me. However, the features of RTX are something I've wanted for a while, and I don't want to have to upgrade for a long time after. Any suggestions?

£400

If your satisfied with the current performance 

Wait for ampere and big Navi 

If you absolutely need an upgrade 

The best GPU at around this price point is a 5700xt which is very close to a 2070 super

For 400 quid you could get either a 5700XT or a 2060 Super. 

If gaming really isn't a priority and you don't need the absolute best performance, look for a 5600XT 14Gbps or 1660 Super.

 

Also, I'd get some 3600MHz CL16 memory instead of the 3200MHz.

Thanks, that's all I needed

Would that make much of a difference? With the parts I've chosen, I'm already pushing the budget, and I've heard most people saying it doesn't give too much more performance

This for example is pretty much the same price. Even if it's CL17, it'll offer lower latency than the 3200 CL16 kit, but mostly you'd be benefiting from running your CPU's FCLK at a higher speed (1800MHz), which could offer a decent bit more performance compared to running it at 1600MHz.

Especially considering that this costs the same amount, I'd go for it instead.

Agree. I'd get the 5700 XT since the OP is doing gaming. And doesn't want to upgrade for a while

Alright, I might do that then. Thanks!

Alright, I'm just not sure about overclocking anything because I'm going to be running the stock cooler on my CPU and my case fans are good but not the best (they're also the stock fans, I use the Corsair Carbide Spec-03), and my room gets pretty hot quickly. As I said in the post, I'm new to everything here and know next to nothing about overclocking so I'm just wanting to play it safe

1800mhz on the FCLK is by no means dangerous 

In fact you don't have to do it 

It just better to do it.

The FCLK should be set to the correct speed by your motherboard automatically, you don't really have to worry about it.

Okay, thanks for the help @Mateyyy and @TofuHaroto , that's all I need and more. I'll probably end up settling for a 2060 super, and changing out for the 3600 CL17 memory.
