Don't listen to people when they bring out the "throttling because mini" argument. Heck, even if this thing throttles it's still gonna be faster than an RX 580.

Ignoring the fact that GTX 1070 is in a different price point altogether when compared to the RX 580, if OP had the budget, a RX 580 and a SSD would be a better combination anyway.

 

BTW, there are better aftermarket GTX 1070s that go on sale for about $330-ish pretty frequently. I'd say that if you were going to buy a GTX 1070, $380 is too much to pay... especially for the mini-ITX edition.

Get an 580 and a water cooler or an air cooling tower to prevent cpu bottlenecks.

4GHz is basically as far as Ryzen goes... 4.1GHz if you're lucky. And stop bringing up the topic of "CPU bottlenecks", he'll be fine.

a 580 is a solid card, however, wait to see what VEGA brings. Also, what is that psu? If are going to get a better card, I would look at changing the PSU as well!

Yes, a RX 580 would be a significant upgrade.

 

The Cougar VTX 600 is nothing to write home about but it should be fine...

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

That's the professional version of VEGA.

 

As far as SK Hynix rumors come, they won't be able to meet demands just in time for a Q2 launch. That is why everyone is banking on Q3 release.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

Don't listen to people when they bring out the "throttling because mini" argument. Heck, even if this thing throttles it's still gonna be faster than an RX 580.

 

EDIT: Plus, the reason I would recommend this is a lot of games can be run by the GTX 1060 and RX 580 at max settings 60FPS 1080p. However, in a year or two that would no longer be the case. GTX 1070 for 1080p now seems a little overkill, but in a year or two it won't be.
