You likely wont find reviews of the exact model of card you are looking at, however that doesn't really matter, as the differences are generally so small you wouldn't notice them in the real world. It's the GPU that is being used that's important, so any review that compares any RX 570 vs any RX...

I have done the exact same thing recently, went from a GTX 670 to RX 580 8GB. In fact the exact model you listed, PowerColor RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8GB. Looked at plenty of reviews and the RX580 is the much more capable card, and will future proof you somewhat. The price difference between it...

Have you tried clearning out all temp files? Checking the registry for issues? I use CCleaner myself, only mess around with the registry if you know what you are doing! Since you are using HDD, have you tried defragging them?

as others have already said, get the cheaper one. They have the same software and cooler. The only difference I can see is the OC version has a higher OC mode boost GPU clock speed, and since you can OC them yourself, you can just (attempt to) OC the cheaper one to the same speeds.

Yes, you will only be able to see 60 fps on that monitor, as it simply cant update any faster, however it doesnt stop your graphics card run faster than that. You will get visual artifacts though such as screen tearing. You could turn on vsync though to sync them both to 60 and have no issues.

what aswindamara said. Downside would be, TV's tend to be alot slower (input lag, response times etc) when it comes to gaming due to all the extra processing that they do. Luckily, most new TV, you can turn all this off, or they have a dedicated game mode which might do some/all of that for...

The problem is going to be your internal power cabling is likely very old and of poor quality, or the cable is extremely long. Had the same issue with mine when moving house and using homeplug adapters. Resorted to routing cat6a cables everywhere, went from 200meg (at best) to the full 1gig.

That is a fairly old laptop. The CPU might be upto to job, but the rest of the system isnt, as Wildcard has already said, the GPU is not going to cut it. https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/laptops/dell-precision-m4500-mobile-workstation/spd/precision-m4500 (the better of the 2 GPU's it...

As Lutfij has said, yes it should support it, the specs state that it will support 360mm radiators. https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Cases/570x-rgb-config/p/CC-9011110-WW

You could also hold off for 4k 144hz ips screens, which are supposed to be out sometime this year (Technically they already are, but only in 27"). or wait and see what Nvidia is doing with its big format displays.

I agree with manddy123, they look like your best options, given that list.

What the others say is valid. Personally ive had no issues with 850 evo, good solid drive, if you can stretch your budget it will be worth it. Mixed opinion on the Crucial, had them fail on me in the past, yet they were solid in all the machines at work. Have you considered the Sandisk Ultra...

What he said (See above post) Only some of the newer Ryzen's have integrated GPU http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-zen-vega-cpu-gpu,5467.html So you will need a discrete gaphics card.

Have you considered that this could purely be a bug with task manager reporting incorrectly? You really need to run some benchmarks first and compare your results with what should be expected for the system based on others results. Only then will we know if there is a problem.

As others have said, Zotac is a reputable brand. The real question is how much does the 970 cost in your area?, compared with say the gtx 1060 or rx 470, which would both be newer and have the same performance/slightly better. If it is significantly cheaper, then yeah, go for it.
