I watched a video on Bitwit and he had a rx 580 is that a good card for an r5 1600? I have been planning for a while and I am struggling to find anything that can be good for my budget.

Okay and I am doing a red and black build so are there any 1060’s that are black and red that look good?

[Dedayog]

MSI is known for red/black themes...

Most msi cards are red and black, but if you only want black EVGA is going to be your preferred choice.

I recommend this card, it is a clean msi gtx 1060 (6gb) also it is 279.99 since you have a 20$ rebate.

rx 580 is a great card, but it's really expensive right now. Performance is comparable to the 1060 and choosing one or the other usually depended on what games you played: However, right now, they're a lot more expensive than 1060s so not worth it.

I already have the case, MOBO and HDD so I cannot switch those.

I didnt see that RAM before. I might drop the SSD to a 128GB because I really dont care about load times for games. And it will save me an extra 20-30 bucks.

there's a cheaper 240gb for $50, get that if you want to save.

Oh ok! I will do that!

1050ti is also a great budget option if the budget gets cut
