Hi people !

I have already made the topic of buying new graphics card, but this situation is a little bit weird.

My current GPU is "GTX 750 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition" and I want to upgrade GPU to Radeon RX XFX 570 4GB or Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming G1 or Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti Gaming G1

The price of used "RX 570" in my situation is 175 euros with 12 months of warranty.
The price of new "RX 580" is 175 euros but with no warranty.
The price of new "1050 Ti" is 195 euros with 3 years of warranty / from shop

I know that 1050 Ti will be very well compatible with my others specs, but how about these two, especially rx 580, I'm a little bit worried about my PSU because 580 wants max 500W (33 amps):
CPU: i5 3340 3.10 GHz
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68P-DS3
PSU: beQuiet 530w
RAM: 2x4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Monitor: Dell 22 - P2214H

I said that this situation is weird, but what would you do I want your opinion.

Thanks in advance !

I'm not sure why you'd make another thread. Knowing you are in Bosnia could be useful information in case anyone wants to help you look around. I'm also not sure how the 580 has "no warranty" seeing as I thought everything had at least a 1yr manufacturers warranty. Did you mean no warranty from the shop? In your country why does that matter?

The 1050TI might trade blows with the 570, but of the three cards you listed the 580 is the fastest. I would buy the 580 and save the 20euro over the 1050TI seeing as it would be faster. As I said, it should come with at least a 1yr warranty from whomever made it.

As for the PSU question, which model beQuiet do you have? You need to make sure you can feed that 580 enough power to make...

I'm a little bit worried about 570 because it's a used card. And I'am worried about my PSU (for 580) and CPU, because I think that I will have a cpu bottleneck.

When we talk about rx 580 warranty; i can buy it from a guy, not from shop, but he said that this card comming in original box, it's a new card, but he doesn't have written guarantee, and because of that the price is lower.
In Bosnia RX 580 from shop costs about 220euros.

And that is mine PSU:

EDITED
 
If it's in the original box and being sold as new, why would it not have the manufacturers warranty? What do you mean by no "written guarantee"? In the USA everything comes with at least one year from whoever made it. I thought this was standard.

As for your PSU, what does it as under the two 12V rails? 300 or 360? I can't get the photo larger in either Firefox or IE. And I can't make it out. Power is an issue if you have a PSU that bad. With the 580 you'll need around 300W for your setup, so the 580 is out unless you upgrade your PSU as well. The 1050TI is a 75W card usually so that should work.
 
I saw that. But 22A + 22A * 12V = 528W. And this clearly isn't a modern DC-DC PSU. Each rail by itself can handle 22A, but the unit can't supply that to both rails at the same time.

I couldn't find a review of the L7 530W, but here is Kitguru's review of the L8 530. They managed to pull 40A out of it. I don't know if the L7 can do the same or not. According to your link it has the plugs needed to run the 580, so give it a shot.
