Now that RX 580s are no longer available. What GPU is best to pair with the Ryzen 5 1600?

Not sure I can wait for the vega line to launch as I need another computer asap, so I really need to find something currently on the market. Not trying to break the bank here neither.

Here is a link to my build:

** No Conpetitors **

Any advice is much appreciated as I'm very new to pc gaming and this will be my first build.

Because of the mining craze there so few of these left in stock.... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...ics-card-gv-n1060g1-gaming-3gd-gx-18l-gi.html

Cryptocurrency mining is the reason you can't get any AMD GPU's, now that AMD's GPU are out of stock everywhere the miners are buying up nVidia cards... that one is still well priced ^^^^ get it while its still in stock, its a good card.

from RX560 to 580, or GTX 1050 to 1070 gives you performance as good as the intel 7700k at 1080p, going GTX 1080 and Ti, you would have 10-20% performance loss compared to 7700k.
 
found this one in stock at my local best buy:
XFX - AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black/white

should I get it?

for that price no, just forget radeon or wait to see vega's price, 580 should be around 220$ not 350$, maybe check if there is any GTX with regular price available.
this is really a bad time to buy a gpu as prices sky rocketed, as i said wait for vega it might be worth buying if the price is good enough, and before miners pick them all.
also don't post links to ocuk's competitors, ( remove the link)
 
I'd avoid any 1060 3gb cards too, I know your wee linked one above that's all.

If you need it now best cards to get are 1060 6gb or 1070, amd cards just can't be had really. If you can't wait pay the added pounds for a 1070
 
#### yeah.... i didn't realise it was the 3GB one i linked, my apologies, avoid.

If not an RX 580 try to find the 6GB one, but not for more than £300.....
