    Rx 580 vs Rtx 2060? Second thoughts!?

    Hello everyone! This is a revisit on an older post. I'm upgrading my pc and I'm terribly stuck on this gpu business. I've narrowed it down to a Sapphire rx580 8gb nitro+ and a zotac amp rtx 2060. I know the rtx is better but is it $170 better? The 580 is $194 on Amazon right now and seems hard...

    New build. Keep or ditch current gpu?

    Thanks for the quick response guys! I agree sticking with the ryzen 5 2600. Best all around bang for the buck I think. I may ditch the cooler for now as well as I do not intend to do any overclocking right away. If I stick with my 960 do you think recording performance will improve as well...
