[SOLVED] Need Advice on new GFX card RX 5700 or alternative?

[IInferno]

Looking to spend ~£600 on a new:CPU, MoBo, GPU and RAM in the next few months but need to upgrade GPU now as my old GTX670 is really struggling. Was looking at RX5700 (GIgabyte Gaming OC version) but the price of one available has jumped up £50-60. Just need some advice of what to get as the only cheaper RX5700 I can find is the XFX DD one which I have heard hits very high temps.

Current System: Intel i7 3770k, MSi Z77 MPower motherboard, 8GB DDR3 2133MHz ram, MSi GTX 670 GFX card, 500GB SSD Samsung 860 EVO, beQuiet 650W Gold PSU, NZXT Phantom case, Dell U2312HM Monitor.
Will be upgrading soon as stated

Budget: ~£300

Seller: Must be in UK.

In that general range, your options are pretty much 2060 (+Super) and 5700 (+XT)

Generally, at 300quid +/-, your options are further limited to
Poor aftermarket 5700's (like the DD), or reference designs.
OR
Single fan 2060 (non Super) solutions.

There's an ASUS 2060 Dual (non-super) for 295 from Scan...
Or a 3 fan, TUF 5700 for ~300 ...

The 5700 has the edge in performance, generally.... but while that TUF cooler is bound to be better than reference, I seem to recall seeing pretty poor reviews on it too.

Would this be a good version of a RX 5700 XT? I know of Powercolor but never had one of their graphics cards myself.

That;s Powercolor's entry-level card. Sit's below their mid-range Red Dragon and higher-end Red Devil.

It's one of (if not the) cheapest 5700XT in most markets & regions, at least, non-reference models... so it's built to a pricepoint. It's not going to be the coolest, quietest or best performing 5700Xt in the world, but it's still an XT for a good price.

I'm not aware of any major issues with this card, unlike some of it's competitors in the pricepoint
