Question RX 6700XT yes or no?

Is the Rx 6700XT at around 450€ worth the upgrade from an Rx 580 ?
The 6700xt is the Sapphire Nitro+ edtion.
Cpu: Ryzen 5 2600
Gpu: Sapphire Rx 580 Nitro+ 8GB Special Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS M
Ram: 16GB ADATA: 2X8GB XPG Gammix D10 Black DDR4 3000 MHz
PSU: Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watt 88% 80+ Bronze

PSU: Seasonic S12II-520 520 Watt 88% 80+ Bronze
How old is the PSU in the above listed build? If you want to drop in an RX6700T, I'd get a new, reliably built, branded PSU(like the Seasonic you have) with at least 650W of power at your entire system's disposal. In your current state, no, I wouldn't take the risk with a higher pedigree card.

PSU is about 2 years old, if i'll get a 650 or 750 psu would you advice the rx 6700xt ?

I voted for the 6700 XT as a good upgrade over your 580. However you will need to upgrade the PSU.

Absolutely, though please make sure you invest in a quality PSU, instead of trying to bunch the PSU and GPU purchase with a limited budget. Go for a BIOS update on the motherboard and you should be able to drop in a 5000 series Ryzen processor later down the road.

Basically you are going from say a 1060 to a 2080ti in performance when going from a 580 to a 6700xt. So about 3 years between give or take, and about 3.5 tiers. I'd say worthwhile upgrade for sure. But yes you may check on the power supply.

Yeh this is an easy yes but I would def upgrade the PSU 520W is pretty low these days and I wouldn't trust it to manage the Transient spikes

Sweet deal, where did you find it if I may ask?

A Ryzen 5600X it's in my thoughts.

Yes, but is the 6700xt the best upgrade at this price?

Romania.

Not knowing exactly the exchange rate, here in the USA I’d expect to pay around 300 dollars give or take a little for a 6700xt. Maybe slightly over.

Get a 4060.
