[SOLVED] 580 or 5700

[Willyboi2534]

My end goal is to get a really nice and powerful GPU. Currently I have a 1050, so either one of these will be a huge upgrade. I found a 5700 for 300$, and RX 580 for 200$, which one would I be getting more from, and which one is better for its value?
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
PSU: EVGA 450 watts Bronze +80
RAM: Corsair RGB Pro 16GB
Motherboard: ASRock B450 Steel Legend

I would suggest that you take the 5700, 580 isn't going to last you long seeing as the next gen consoles are around the corner, also you get relative performcane uplift for the price difference, now, if you are playing at 1080p, the 2600 could bottleneck a 5700 in some cases, be wary, if you feel its too much down the line you can always upgrade the cpu on AM4, either way, I suggest a 5700.

5700 or the xt variant. unless you get the 580 for next to nothing, its a decent card just a little long in the tooth
