I am building  a PC on a budget for a friend. I can get a used 970 from a friend that I trust for $120. I can also get a new rx 570 for $150. I will be paring it with a ryzen 2200g. (I know that's pretty cheap)

Do you think the 970 will be bottlenecked because it is running with a 2200g? and if not do you think its a good deal?

the RX 570 and GTX 970 perform similarly, if one gets CPU bottleneck then so will the other. I dont think you will see CPU bottleneck though, unless your memory sticks suck.

 

It's a tad high considering it's a used GPU, but not too bad.

How much is the budget? I could make a build real quick and show it to you. As for the bottleneck I don't think it will be a problem.

The goal is under 350. As of right now I have already bought the ram for 49 bucks off newegg. I am getting a ryzen 2200g for $50 at micro center Friday morning, and I'm getting an EVGA 500W PSU from Microcenter for $30. All together including windows the PC will be $334. The $334 is assuming I buy the 970 for 120. If I get a rx 570 it will be right at 350.
