1070 or 2060 for my cpu

[HyperDrive]

I got a ryzen 1400 oc'ed to 3.6ghz atm

I've read some topics about it and ive seen the 2060 winning by 20% but im rather curious if I need a stronger cpu for it. Imma play on 1080p anyway

and do i need more than 500watts if ever? im eyeing on EVGA 600watt bronze atm since its on sale atm on my area

What make and model is your psu?

Your cpu may struggle to keep up with a 1070 in cpu heavy games when running a low resolution like 1080p.

seasonic s12ii 520

the games i usually play are just mmos, I barely go for AAA ones so should i go for 2060 instead?

Good psu for either gpu. You can run either gpu, 2060 will be limited more by your cpu but has the advantage of it will be longer before you feel the need to upgrade the gpu. Overclocking your cpu if your motherboard allows would definitely help.

well its on 3.6ghz atm, should i push for more? or should i upgrade to a 2400 ryzen?, my budget is limited for a better gpu atm

Leave it at 3.6, you can look at more if you feel the need later. The 2400 is enough of an upgrade to be worth while. Get the gpu you want and then see if the games you play you are happy with the performance.

most likely im waiting for Ascent Infinity Online and Lost Ark, not really much of a steam/offline gamer here, im one of those oldies who enjoy MMOs instead
