I have been out of the loop on GPU's for a while now, 2-3 years ago I purchased a gigabyte GTX960 4gb and haven't looked back since I was quite pleased with it.



My current system specs are as follows:



MSI B350M Arctic

AMD Ryzen 7 1700x (not oc)

8GB 2400mhz DDR4 Ram

Gigabyte GTX960 4GB DDR4

Corsair 500W PSU (soon to be upgraded, as will most likely need more power for a better GPU to be supported - any reccomendations?)

Corsair H100X CPU Cooler

Sandisk 128gb SSD with win10 pro + Seagate Firecuda 2TB SSD for steam library / other games and storage.



I am now looking to upgrade to something with high performance, without breaking the bank too much (£330 limit, also second hand purchasing is also out of the question entirely)


So far I'm pretty set on a RX 590, opinions / advice?


All help appreciated!

that's a good price!, although i'd probably opt for the powercolour/sapphire for an extra 12 quid.

First of all remember you can undervolt them all for better performance, cooler running, less noise and lower power consumption making them best in class.

I shall try to summarise for you:
- Powercolor: Best cooler but quite large, reasonably quiet and tie for best performance with Sapphire.
- Sapphire: Good cooler, good noise levels and best price, tied for best performance with Powercolor.
- Gigabyte: Average cooler, best backplate, marginally smaller.
- Asus: Quietest cooler, worse performing cooler, best warranty period.


They will all perform exceptional, but Powercolor and Sapphire will hold boost clocks longer due to superior coolers.
However they can all be under-volted and as such will all perform exceptionally well.

I'd advice you pick the one you like the look of most or down to money spent.

Thanks for all the advice, though the current plan is to save up until christmas and then treat myself - so it is really down to how long these sales last, I will get the vega 56 if so, its just down to how long the sales go on!
