Question Advice related to upgrade

[mra1993]

Hey people...
So, I am thinking of buying the RX 580 8GB to upgrade my present R9 380 2GB...

Now, I have a CX 600 (approx. 5 years old) which is powering my PC at the moment...

My question is, will it be enough for the RX 580???

I am running Ryzen 5 2600X, with 8GB x2 DDR4 RAM, 5 Cooling Fans, 2 Internal HDDs and 3xUSB 3.0 drives...

Now, before you guys go saying wait for new Radeon Graphics Cards, I have to add the fact that I am not able to game anymore on the present GC for the past few months... She has had it... And I only have the budget for the RX 580...

NVIDIA not wanted!!!

It should be fine, but if you can swing it maybe look at the GTX 1660 (non ti). It's newer, uses less power and is a more powerful card. The RX580 really only has the fact its stupid cheap going for it.

Asus Arez RX580 8GB = $170 after MIR.

Asus Strix RX580 8GB = $180 after MIR. (never hurts to have a little overkill cooling, amirite?)

Should doesn't inspire a lot of confidence...

I never liked NVIDIA... I don't know why... That's why I am swinging for RX 580...

Anyways, 'should' doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, mate...
