Question Should I buy the RX 580?

[randomperson1523]

Hi, so basically my current GPU is just too weak and I want to buy a new one that I'll carry on a new PC in the future. So I found a 115 dollar RX 580 Pulse with 8 GBs VRAM online. Also since I read that my FX-8320 will bottleneck the RX 580, I would also like to ask what's the best budget CPU and motherboard I can pair with the RX 580 to reduce the bottleneck. My budget for the motherboard and CPU is 200 euro, and I'll probably buy second hand parts. Thanks!

It may bottleneck but not really a lot, you should just save up to buy a modern motherboard, cpu and RAM.

The Ryzen 5 2600 + Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H V2 (must be V2 for 100% compatibility out of box + it has a B350 chipset, although in the name is A320) would work fine. It's quite budget setup (I got the same) total price for new parts 205€ in my country).
But you'll need DDR4 RAMs (about 50-60€ for 8GB)

My advice:
Get the card now cuz you've found a good deal but keep your current motherboard and cpu for now. When ryzen 3rd gen comes out, ryzen 1st gen prices will drop THEN buy a ryzen 5 1600 or ryzen 7 1700 (i wouldnt get a ryzen 3) and a nice b350 board and some 3000mhz~ ram
