BLACK FRIDAY TEAM RED DEALS NOW LIVE (AMD / ATI): IF WE DROP PRICE FURTHER, WE WILL REFUND YOU!!!

That would all depend on budget. But if building a whole rig id decide on GPU as part of the whole package rather than it being the starting point. Ie no real point paring a high end CPU with a low end GPU and vice versa. If you were just upgrading gpu and your budget is £150 then the 590 is great. Hope that make sense. Pay a visit to this section (https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forums/new-to-pc-gaming-upgrade-advice.172/)a post a thread with your whole budget plus things like what monitor you have. Presumably the pc is for gaming so state that too.

I have posted on there a few times and have an idea in my head of what I want now.
I am going to get a ryzen 5 3600 and a Tomohawk max board.
So would this card make a good combination with that two. I will be playing FIFA cod BF 1 and BF5 etc.

edit: Could you guide me to what card should I get that will play games at high settings in 1080p and will play at a decent level in 2560 x 1440 with a ryzen 5 3600, and tomohawk max board, 16 gb 3200 ram and a 480gb NvMe ssd card?
Thanks

For 1440p I'd say something else would be a bit better. Waiting for black Friday and getting a 5700 @ example £249 for example but if your budget doesn't stretch that far then buy the best you can with current budget.

£150 = 590
£200 = 1660 super
£250 = 5700 on black Friday

Or 2nd hand

That theory sound spot on. Blower cards will be £250 after cash back apparently, or get a Red Dragon or Pulse on BF. I'm waiting it out till the bitter end before I take the plunge.

The 1tb corsair force mp510 @£110 is a great choice for m.2 if you have the budget since you only get 1 m.2 slot on the tomahawk maxing it out is a good idea.

This is very sound advice.

Thanks for the reply, yeah my budget could go up to £250 for a GPU,but I could not justify the prices that some of those cards are, they cost more than a console. So is the 5700 classed as mid to high level?

I saw the 5700 mech was £300 on here a short while ago, I will keep a look out for that as BF approaches

Well all the cards above are more powerful than the GPU in a console, plus PC's cost more, because they do a lot more, they don't just offer visually better gaming and more features, but they do a lot more task, but if its just gaming your interested in then of course consoles offer better value for money prospect.

£250 for a 5700 pulse? Really?

They are 350 now, I can't see them being 250.
 
Mr G said:
Ask Gibbo he makes the deals, pretty sure it was discussed in this thread or other.

Pulse won't go any cheaper than it is now on OcUK.

Only £250 5700 shall be an MBA Blower card and that is only after you've claimed the cashback from manufacturer (£65).

All our BF deals on AMD cards are live except for following:
MSI Mech 5700 XT @ £359 on BF
MSI Mech 5700 @ £299 on BF
Asus 5700 XT MBA @ £299 after cashback
Asus 5700 MBA @ £249 after cashback
Asus 5700 XT ROG Strix OC @ £419 after cashback

All others are live, I am attempting to hunt for mother RX 570 deals, but NAVI is life apart from the handful listed above and VEGA is also life.

I have an Xbox one in the room that I am putting the pc in and play on a large screen through a projector.
I was looking at Rx 590's, but I am looking at slightly better ones now, seeing as B/Friday is near

Edit: I can get the Powercolor RX5700 for £270 atm
