Hey folks how we all doing So basically as graphics card Prices are Currently through the roof is it worth spend the extra 100+ pounds for a Vega 56 i know its faster but assuming the Aftermarket cards are going to be around 450 pounds is it worth the extra 150 over the 580?

I Recently purchased the LG 34UC79G and couldn't be happier with it but as you can see from my Signature my computer is Over 8 years old Still Rocking DDR2 and PCI-E 2 Im looking into building a new Motherboard bundle next month for the Upcoming release of Destiny 2 on PC i want to Run everything on new to Max settings for years to come :)

AMD Ryzen™ 7 1700 8 Core AM4 CPU/Processor with Wraith Spire 95W cooler - Will be using the Stock cooler for now hope to go Fully Water-cooled sometime next year

Gigabyte AORUS AMD AM4 Ryzen AX370 GAMING K7 ATX Motherboard

Still Undecided on what Manufacturer of memory to go with but it will be 16gb DDR4 at as fast a speed possible probably 3466mhz If Ryzen will allow such speeds with future BIOS/UEFI updates

Samsung 500GB 960 Evo PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive - For my Windows 10 and all my games never had a SSD before and this is apparently 5 times faster than one :)

AMD VEGA RX 56 - Will be waiting for the Aftermarket cards to come out and get 1 of them so i can overclock it to its full potential seeing as Reference cards are coming in at the £367 think £400 is a good price for one of these.

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - I love Windows 7 but cant use the latest Features and DX12 without 10 so will be getting this :/

^Above^ are the new parts i will be acquiring and these will be the ones im keeping from my current build

EVGA 850 G2 Been using this for the past few years has done great and still has 7 year warranty left :)

Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB Main drive - had this for 8 years still going strong - Western Digital Blue 1TB Back-Up drive - Had a few months just so i dont lose anything

Coolermaster HAF 932 Advanced Modified - Project Uprising Love this case to bits its my 3rd one due to the first 2 getting damaged and wouldn't change it for anything also had a lot of Hours of work put into Modding/Cable management plus all my Enermax T.B Apolish fans it wont be going anywhere anytime soon :)

Any Help Deciding is greatly appreciated
 
So is the Vega Worth the extra 150 then and just because ive bought a 144hz Monitor Doesn't mean i want to get 144fps in every game a Minimum 60 FPS at Max settings will suffice I want the Computer to last for another 5+ years without Upgrading
