Should i keep my RX 480 or return it and get a GTX 1070 for 350$

[NoobKid]

I just bought a AOC AGON AG271QX with FreeSync. Right now i have a RX 480. But i found a GTX 1070 Gigabyte G1 for only 350$ I can still Return my GPU and get the money back.

So my Question is. Is it worth it to return my RX 480 and buy the GTX 1070?
Please help as fast as possible

Depends on what kind of games you play and how much you paid for the RX 480. I'd personally rather have the GTX 1070 and no freesync. For what it's worth, returning a GPU that's not faulty is really bad practice and unfair to whatever platform you bought it from.

Yes, i think so.
This is my specs:
CPU: i7 6700K Overclocked to 4,6 Ghz
CPU cooler: noctua nh-d15
Ram: hyperx fury 16gb ddr4
Case: Fractal design define R4
PSU: Cooler Master B700
Motherboard: ASUS Z-170 -A
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
SSD: Hyperx Fury 240GB

the psu...


I would replace it on principle

 

[NoobKid]

700 watt is enough for a GTX 1070. Or am i wrong?

 

[chemmajorp53]

It is but that PSU is very low quality, he's worried about the risk management aspect because failing PSUs tend to drag other things down with them

I tought Cooler Master was a trysty Brand:/ Am i right.

 

[chemmajorp53]

Cooler master doesn't make the innards of that PSU, Channel well does. That brand makes everything from great components to kind of crap ones, unfortunately the Cooler Master B series is more towards the latter. It's not an issue that you NEED to worry about or address right now, but just be aware that, in case your computer starts shutting down or black screening, your should probably replace the PSU immediately.

OK, but what cheap ca PSU would you recommend? IT must be at least 600W

 

[chemmajorp53]

I would get something like this for your build, why do you need 600W? You can't realistically run a crossfire setup on 600W and 550W is plenty for a single RX 480 and 6700k.

Just to make it Cheaper to upgrade in the future, so i dont need to change psu. My PC does Get bluescreens and sometimes red screens. Is that because of the psu? Or is my Overclocks just unstable.
Thanks for your help

Depends a lot on model aswell and price.

 

[chemmajorp53]

Seasonic and XFX (which uses Seasonic Caps) don't make any bad PSUs afaik
