[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600 RX 580 vs Ryzen 5 3600 RX 590

[AGuyHonestly]

So im having trouble deciding which one to go out and buy from microcenter. Price for the ryzen 5 2600 and 580 and $470, 3600 and 590 is $600. I dont play any game on high settings (i always play on low settings) and i have a 144hz display. For MOST games, would i be fine with the 2600 and 580 low settings hitting 144fps? or do you guys think i should get the 3600 and 590 in order to get that 144fps minimum on low

 

[j3ster]

is that 1080p 144hz? or 1440p 144hz?

im not 100% sure about this but if its 1080p you would want a fast processor more so than a much powerful gpu
since 1080p doesnt really stress the gpu enough adding to the fact you play on low settings.

for 1440p it would be a mixed bag still you can get a 1660ti, 2060, 2060 super for the combination of the RX590 and R5 3600/3600x.
