[SOLVED] Ryzrn 3 1300X RX580 8GB

[TheGRz]

Will a RX580 8GB Bottleneck a Ryzen 3 1300x? For my upcoming build i actually planned Ryzen 5 1600 as the processor. But then i can only get a RX570 4GB (Limited by the Budget). I thought it'll be good if i downgrade it into Ryzen 3 1300X i could manage to get aRX580 8GB and i can get a Ryzen 5 2nd gen processor in future.

Are you from the USA? If so, I know I've seen the 1400 on eBay for about 80-90 dollars. It would give you hyper threading, and you would be able to overclock.

As he said above I’d try to get atleast the 1400. It would be much better.

It appears I was slightly off.

You might find a cooler cheaper, but I found this for 15.

I know it's a little more possibly, but the hyper threading will help

**Edit**

Here is a better listing. And within about 5 dollars of the 1300x. Plus it looks like the cooler is already included.

I'd just plan on saving up and getting a better cooler maybe like a hyper 212 Evo or better and overclock the 1400.
