Question Upgrading from GTX 1050 2gb

[DaFancy]

I've just ordered Ryzen 5 3600 and i feel like 1050 might start to hold me back

What is the best Gpu for around 250 EUR (281 USD) that could run AAA games at High settings

As long as you have a good quality 650W PSU I'd get this.

I agree a vega 56 is about the best you can get.
1050 is pretty weak.
What psu do you have?

Or when you have 500W range PSU then, the best you can get is GTX 1660,

I have a corsair VS550

I have a corsair VS550

Replace it before you get any new GPU. I wouldn't even run a lower power requirement 1660 6gb with that PSU.

Gotcha

Corsair cxm or txm 650 would be a good upgrade option.

SeaSonic focus gold 550 or 650 is a good option.

Id trust a vega 56 with any of the above psus, not a vs.

€90 can get you new Seasonic Focus+ 650 (80+ Gold) which is more than enough to run Vega 56,

Besides Focus+ 650 (80+ Gold), i also listed Focus+ 650 (80+ Platinum), PRIME Ultra 650 (80+ Gold) and PRIME Ultra 650 (80+ Platinum). So take your pick.

Warranty wise:
Focus+: 10 years
PRIME: 12 years (includes all PRIME models: regular, Fanless, AirTouch, SnowSilent, Ultra)

All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic. Full specs with pics in my sig.
