New gpu for old computer

[Jakuroto]

Hi!

I have now 3-4years old computer and i was thinking about getting some fresh power into. The plan is switching to 144hz monitor + buy a new gpu. It will be used for games mostly at 1080p and solidwork program.

 

My current setup:

 

CPU:               Intel Core i5-4690K Box, LGA1150 (overclocked to 4.3GHz)
GPU:               Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X OC mit MANTLE und Gaming Evolved Client, 3GB

MOBO:            ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer, Sockel 1150, ATX
RAM:               8GB G.Skill PC3-12800U CL11-11-11-28

PSU:                Corsair VS Serie VS550, Non-Modular, 80+
CPU Cooler:    Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - Intel/AMD

HDD:                Seagate Barracuda 7200 1000GB, SATA 6Gb/s
SSD:                Crucial MX100 SSD 256GB (2,5", 7mm)

 

I was looking about 600€ for both monitor and gpu together. I was looking at MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card for 330€ (385€ in my country)  but then i found Sapphire pulse radeon rx 580 8GB for 270€ (470€ in my country) which is just insane price in my opinion. I was waiting for cyber monday or black friday in november but i just cant belive rx580 could be any cheaper.  Should i just buy it and then maybe get monitor in november?

No, its brand new. This is why i was so confused when i saw price... With overclocked cpu it should hold for next 3-4 years?

Yeah should be fine, if it's brand new that seems a little too good to be true, is it a private seller or just some company that tried to cash in on mining and now had loads of extra stock?

Its company which sells mining rigs and gpus. Probably extra stock. They seems quite legit so its worth a try.. for that price i get my 144hz monitor gratis

That's just random. The GPUs are manufactured at the same place, use the same VRM components, and are built at the same factories, regardless of whether it's Nvidia or AMD.

Well it might have been asus fault... The gpu ran at 90C under load while new.

And that is within spec
