I have to agree with everyone else going with the Ryzen 3700x is a done deal. One part I went with a Ryzen on my building I'm completing. It just blows Intel out of the water right now with multitasking. Having that slight edge in gaming won't really matter.

I was in the same boat. I'm building a budget gaming pc for under 1k and I was torn. In games the I5 will tend to be a little faster than they ryzen. When it comes to multi tasking the ryzen will beat it hands down due to it have more threads and cores. I choose to go with my Ryzen 3600 because...

I was actually able to buy a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 8G last night for $150 with free shipping. It's an open box and not really used but for a month if that he said. I was bidding on a 1070TI, but it got over my $250 budget.

I’ll keeps the 1070 and 1660ti in mind. Keeping an eye out on it. that’s what I’m thinking in the rx590 and 5500xt. Not much or a performance upgrade from the rx580 for the price difference. I wish I could find a nitro+ that hasn’t been in a mining rig. Most I ask about have been.

Well for the price point I’m looking at a RX 580 Red Devil Golden. Seems like a decent deal for the price. But I’ll keep looking too. I do like the idea of a 1070 but will it hold up for another 2-4 years? I think the 5600xt is out of my price range right now. But I do like the card.

Would you still prefer that one over a 5500xt?

I’ve been looking there but everyone is pretty much sold out. Is there one that’s a better bang for the buck? rx580/590, 1070, 1660 or 2060? that’s assuming in my price range if I find one.

I've looked on ebay and they RX 580 for a decent looking one is currently around $150 and that's with it probably been in a mining rig. Also the issue I'm running into everyone is price gouging right now. The 1660s or 1660ti are well over $250 on ebay. If I could find one in store that would be...

This card will be going into my pc I'm currently building for a home/work pc It will be used to play some games maybe Witcher and various applications my wife uses for school. Monitor listed below, but I'll be running it at 1080p. Size of the card won't be an issue. Looking to purchase at...

So in that case I just plug in the SATA for the power and connect it to the button up top? Should I just unhook the 3 pin ARGB cable from the hub?

I don't care if the mobo controls them or not. If it did great, if not not a big loss. If I can't use them at all I might look into another case. The case has a RGB Button on top of the case. As long as it gets power from one of the SATA Cables then it should work correct? I'm not worried...

Here's the updated pics. View: https://imgur.com/uw5Spiw View: https://imgur.com/Tp9BNXC View: https://imgur.com/NjMpLUa

I'll have to take them during lunch or when I get off tonight. But from what I remember theres 1 cable from each fan. The case does have a button on top of the case to control the RGB color.

There is no full system specs yet as I'm still buying parts. Not going to over pay on ebay or a 3rd party seller. Currently have ASUS B450-F ROG STRIX Gaming AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard Ryzen 5 3600 Stock Fan for CPU 1 m.2 Samsung Evo Pro 970 1tb 1 SSD Samsung Evo 860 1tb 650 EVGA 80+ Bronze PSU...
