[SOLVED] Rtx2060 or Rx5600xt?

[ceriumin]

With many 1080p gpu'a between 200-300£ it is very hard to pick. I want to upgrade my gtx1050 to a better card that can run at ultra 60fps however there are too many releases and options. First I focused on the Rx580 then the 590 then the 1660ti and now the rtx2060. However a new rx5600xt popped up and blew all my plans. I currently have a budget of 280£ and found a rx5600xt for that price but I found an Rte 20th for 240. Now my cpu is Ryzen 5 2600 and psu cx450 if it helps. I won't oc and I will play one or two games with rtx on but the 5600 is amd and might work better with my cpu. Please give your opinions and options. Thanks

My concern is your PSU might be underpowered for what you have in mind.
Nvidia specs the RTX 2060 for 500W minimum, AMD specs the RX 5600 XT for 550W. With a PSU at 450W I personally wouldn't risk it until upgrading the PSU.

Aside from power supply concerns, I would probably lean towards the RTX 2060 if there's a good price.

Also, it'd be best to avoid the early batches of the RX 5600XT if you don't want to deal with bios updates:

Ok I have checked with my setup on pc part picker and the estimate wattage is 339 with more than 100 watts headroom. Im sure it should be fine considering im getting a mini version of the card and will not overclock and not have any rgb. If I decide to add any upgrades such as a better SSD I will buy a better PSU but for now it should be fine right?

Some of the things like the hdd and cooler were not on the list so i had to pick the closest one. I have a wraith spire cooler

Can't always go by those calculators. Especially if you've had your power supply a while.
