Hi,
I recently built a PC in May of 2018. Because of the inflated GPU prices, I didn't buy a GPU, instead choosing to go with the more economical Ryzen 5 2400g APU.
I'm wondering if I should purchase a GPU right now or wait for the prices to drop some more. Currently, my budget is around 150-200 dollars. I'm hoping for a decent enough GPU to run triple A games smoothly at 1080p, eSport titles at high frames, and also be functional for non-professional video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
My specs right now are as follows:
CPU/GPU: Ryzen 5 2400g
Ram: ADATA - XPG SPECTRIX D40 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Motherboard: MSI B350m Mortar
Storage: Samsung PM981 NVME PCIE M.2 (512 GB where 1000 MB = 1 GB)
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX
PSU: Seasonic G-550 80+ Gold 550W
Note: my monitor is a 1080p Samsung LED monitor that supports AMD free-sync. With AMD free-sync's Ultimate Engine, it can display 72 fps. Because of this, I'm hoping to stick with an AMD GPU instead of going Nvidia. However, if I find a good enough deal, I will change to Nvidia.
Given all of this, I'm just wondering if I should wait on getting a GPU. Also, what GPU should I get at my given budget? If I were to get one right now, I'm thinking of getting a Radeon RX 560 4GB because of its value. It's fairly close to MSRP, not really pricey, and also can run most games at 1080p no problem.
That being said, any and all input is welcome. Please help me. This is my first build/upgrade.
