Question Upgrade to AMD RX 5700 or RX 5700XT

[busytea]

I would like to know if my current build could support an upgrade to the new RX 5700 or RX 5700 XT to obtain improved performance for my HTC VIVE? What should I be concerned about or what else would I need to upgrade?

Here's my current specs:
CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
GPU:4096MB ATI AMD Radeon RX 570 (Dell)
Motherboard: Dell Inc. 07PR60 (AM4)
RAM: 12.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1197MHz (17-17-17-39)
STORAGE:
119GB SK hynix SC311 SATA 128GB (SATA (SSD))
931GB Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 (SATA )
Power Supply: Dell Model D460AM-03 REF. NO: DPS460DB-15A, Switching Power Supply, max Power 460W, Max combined power on +5V&+3.3V is 142W, Max combined power on +12VA&+12VB&+12VC output is 385W

Just because of your PSU, the RX5700 may be safer. You'll be really tight if you don't upgrade the PSU, but if you do, then the RX5700XT is the better upgrade, clearly.

Cheers!

Hi Yuka, is there a particular PSU you would recommend to support the 5700XT?

Without a huge amount of details, focus on 80+ Silver and up in terms of "quality" and then between 550W or 700W.
