Rx 580 vs Vega 56 (vfm)

[kostaspgr1]

I want to buy a prebuilt pc and i have 2 options.
1)1050$ with an rx 580
2)1350$ with an Vega 56
Also i will be playing on a 240hz 1080p monitor so i would appreciate a lot the extra fps.
So the real question is, should i buy the vega pc for the extra cost of 300$ over the rx 580 by any means?

Are all other specs identical?

A Vega56 is a substantially better card.... whether it's "worth" +$300, really depends on the balance of the spec.

The specs are the same.
R5 2600x
16gb ram
But the vega one has better psu.

Definitely the Vega one. The $300 is justified if it indeed has a better PSU.

If the balance of the specs are the same, and there's a quality PSU holding it together then yes, the Vega56 option would be much better.

Doing some loose calculations ($200 CPU, $100 MB, $150 RAM, $100 SSD, $100 PSU, $100 OS, $50 HDD) that brings the balance of the build to ~$800 give or take.

So you're looking at ~$250 for an RX580 + assembly/warranty
Or ~$550 for a Vega56 + assembly/warranty.

Really good price for the 580 + everything.
The Vega56's MSRP is $400..... but has rarely (never?) been available for that. Assuming the assembly/warranty is "worth" around $100 to most people going the pre-built route, you're looking at ~$450 for a Vega56 which is a pretty respectable price actually.

Of course, if the balance of the components (MB, SSD, HDD, PSU) are cheaper in price/quality, then you may still be getting gouged on the Vega56.


Where are you looking to buy from, specifically?

I want to buy it from a local shop called e-gate idk if links are allowed but the price contain the taxes also the pcs have 2tb hdd and a 225gb ssd so the prices are more reasonable.I am worried about the rx 580 one because idk what model it is for example if it is 4gb or 8gb.
Also i need to mention that they dont have o.s but as i know they are not hard to install and the activation keys are like 5$.
Tbh i can build a pc for less than 1300 euros with gtx 1080 (it was always euros sorry for using the $ symbol) but i am 17 years old with zero experience about building so i would be really glad to take the easy root and in the future when i have a job to be able to upgrade the gpu.
I just need to know if the vega is worth the money because i dont trust the 580 so much and as i said i do not even know if it is the 8gb model.

The Vega 56 performs close to a GTX 1080 in many cases. You really don't have to worry about its performance.
