Budget (including currency): Around 450€

Country: Finland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming and programming, but also some video editing with davinci resolve. And the games I play are mostly simulation like MSFS 2020, Cities: Skylines and then games like Far Cry 5 and Watch Dogs. Also Beat Saber smoothly so no vomiting.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): R5 2600, 32GB DDR4 3200, 650W PSU, Old GPU Radeon RX 580 4GB. Also fine to be on 1080p as long as at least 60fps constantly, but 1440p with 60fps would be nice. But all 3 monitors are 1080p 60hz so that's minimum. So should I buy 6700XT from verkkokauppa.com for 440€ or wait for the 7600XT or 7700 or potentially something else?

I would wait for the reviews.  Meanwhile I would find out if your motherboard supports this cpu in the link with a bios update.

I am talking here about a GPU upgrade bit a CPU upgrade.

Urg Finland is insanely expensive, as even in France we can get 6700XT for 350EUR !

So I suppose a 6800XT is 600EUR+ so out of question, then there's the 4060Ti (420EUR here) that is better than the 6700XT but idk the Finnish inflated price 😛

You won't believe this but the cheapest 6800XT on verkkokauppa.com is 850€!! And the 4060 Ti is 450€ but no 16gb models which seems strange.

Can't you get one from Germany and pay only a small delivery fee ??

They're a bit cheaper there than in France

Amazon hasnt great prices but has the return window if there's a problem, this one is 580EUR and can be shipped internationally

But it'll be better and you will be able to keep it for longer 🙂

If you really can't afford it get a 6700XT on Amazon.de it's 100EUR less than on Suomiscam.fi  😄

With RX580 and ryzen 2600, i;d wait for 7700 launch. IT's not that far off and frame generation with the new FSR 3.0 would probably be limited to RX 7000 series. So to me it's worth to wait few more weeks/months. 6700XT is a good GPU, but the prices here in Europe suck. It's not like The States where you can get one for $299. Now that's a price that's basically a steal.

| Ryzen 7 5800X3D | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Rev 7| AsRock X570 Steel Legend |

| 4x16GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 4000MHz CL16 | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT | Seasonic Focus GX-1000|

| 512GB A-Data XPG Spectrix S40G RGB | 2TB A-Data SX8200 Pro| Phanteks Eclipse G500A |
