Graphics Card Question - What to do!?

[RageRiot]

Hi,

I'm building a new PC, which will leave me with two builds:

Old (spare): Core i5-3570K CPU, P8Z77 (Socket 1155), 16GB DDR3 2133MHz
New (main): RYZEN 7 1800X, ASUS STRIX X370-F, 16GB TEAM GROUP RAM

I have an "MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card" to go in one of these builds, but I'll need a new graphics card for the other.

I have a budget of £150 max and I'm not sure what to do with the old card and what card to buy. The new build is my main PC so that's where I want the power. The spare PC will be used mainly for media with the occasional game so I need some graphics power there too.

Any thoughts?

Keep saving and wait for new cards to come out soon

I'm not much of a gamer these days, the old R9 played everything I play fine - I'm quite happy with the £150 budget if it gets me something similar/better.

what monitor do you have ? £150 can land 144hz freesync monitor 1080p

Just a generic Asus 24"

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £224.99
• 1 x AOC G2460VQ6 24" 1920x1080 TN FREESYNC 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red= £139.99

Total: £376.68 (includes shipping: £11.70)

A second hand GTX970 can be easily had for your budget and would be perfectly fine for anything up to and including 1080p.
