Hi, so my situation is like this, I have a 1060 6gb from Asus ROG, and I wanna upgrade it, and I have 2 options (I have to upgrade my PSU aswell from 550w to 700w which is 50 Euros)
  1. GPU is a Vega 56 from Asus ROG edition aswell, for 270 Euros
  2. GPU is a RX 5700 from MSI for 350 Euros
And my CPU is a Ryzen 2600 OC 4.1Ghz (just for bottleneck purposes)
I got 350 Euros for this update you guys think its worth to wait and collect another 50 Euros for the RX 5700 and PSU or the fps difference is not worth waiting. (144hz Gaming)

Sry for my trash English.
 
Solution
for 1080p, and I checked 2060 would be 350, 2060 super would be 400 and 2070 450 and so on, and all my life I had Nvidia card I really wanna give shot to Amd. So i would stay with the 2 amd cards and my question is still the same.
If the msi card you look for 5700 is a blower style card then stay away from them and wait for the custom 5700 models. The card is 350euros the budget you have at the moment then how you are supposed to pick a good quality psu to run this power hungry card with 50 euros budget and speaking of 700w for 50euros it will be probably a really bad quality psu. If you are not satisfied with what you have right now then go for the vega 56 and a good quality psu (i recommend seasonic).

1080p or 1440p monitor? Did you check any good deal for nvidia rtx 2060 , rtx 2060 super or 2070? All these cards based on nvidia have a minimum of 550w psu while vega 56 have 650w and 5700 600w.

Thanks for the detailed answer, Imma wait the custom carda and buy a good quality psu too, I was going to buy seasonic anyways they are my favourite aswell.

Good choice i would do the same. You dont change cards everyday 5700 will last you longer and will give you more frames so you can take advantage of your 144hz monitor and its overall a newer architecture with new features ( amd anti lag , image sharpening).
