I'm building a new gaming rig on a budget so I'm going to use a used GPU for it, question is, would an R5 2600 (OC'd mind you, yes I know about silicon lottery and how unlikely you'll get higher clocks than boost, but I digress), now, for the GPU I'm going to use a used GTX 1080 (specifically the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Turbo OC, yes I know its a blower model and will be loud as all hell under load, but, it's the cheapest at 260 Euros (288.47 Dollars). It may be Overkill for the system, but Hey, for a first build I want it to last awhile as I'm not likely to even get all of the money for it and may have to do it year by year getting the parts, but, hopefully i'll get most of it!
Edit: For those who are curious my PC specs are going to be:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (Figures)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Turbo OC (No way!)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz CL15
Motherboard: Asrock B450M Pro4
Case: Fractal Design Focus G
PSU: Corsair TXM 550W
Storage: Reusing my old stuff so a 120GB Adata SSD and a 320GB 7200RPM HDD
