So build is:

Ryzen 5 3600
Msi b450 Max board
2 x 8gb ballistix 3200
750w psu
500gb Samsung evo ssd

I'm looking to upgrade my gpu, pcs main purpose is to play AAA games on high graphics.

I'm thinking:

Gtx 1660 super
Radeon RX 5700 or the 5700 xt (much difference?)
2060 super

I know prices vary on these quite a bit, would I be right in saying I've listen them from worst to best in terms of performance? Or is the 5700 xt better than the 2060 super?

What would you guys recommend? Thanks.

I thought the 5700xt is on par with the 2070super? I might be wrong though, I know a few people who have the 5700xt and have had driver issues. But I'm not sure if they sorted it.

Damn I certainly don't want to be having issues.

This is the nightmare with gpus I look and it's like oh just another £100 I can get me the 2070 super lol.

I'm not after bragging rights, just a card I can be confident I can run 60 plus frames on 1080 with consistently. Think I'll have to put my max at £400. But I've read the 1660 super is a good card, would something like the 5700 or 2060 be THAT much better for another £150-200 odd?
 
Powercolor 5700 XT red dragon can be had got £360, comes with the AMD game bundle too.
 
Thanks.

PNY 2060 super is going for £415. Better than the 5700 XT you think?

If they're both pretty close in performance and I'm not going to have any issues with the 5700 xt then I think I may go for that. Is the 5700xt performance considerably more than the 1660 super? And better for future proofing?

No the 5700xt is almost on par with the 2070 super and most driver issues have been resolved.

The bottom line is amd have always been better value over nvidia.

Only reason to go for an nvidia rtx card is ray tracing.
 
5700/5700XT good card to get at the moment if you can get them for £400 or less and dont want to wait and play the Nvidia 3xxx lottery when its released.

The 5700 XT is faster than the 2060 super. I've had a few 5700 XT and had no issues.

As I said you can get a Powercolor Red Dragon 5700 XT for £360 if you shop about. That would be my pick. It comes with the AMD Game bundle as a bonus.
 
You cannot link to other sites that sell PC parts, best remove the link.

I can still find it for that price.
 
So I'm thinking the 5700 XT from your advice.

This one seems reasonable to me:

MSI RADEON RX 5700 XT MECH OC Graphics Card '8GB GDDR6, 1925Hz, AMD NAVI 10 XT GPU, 3x DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual Fan Cooling System'

Worth it?

Damn pcs.. Set out a budget and I keep saying to myself oh just a little more just a little more I'm already thinking I should have gone ryzen 7.

Also is there any real benefit in going for another 8 or 2x8gb Ram?? The mobo will fit it but I'm not clued up on the benefits or even if I won't see a difference overall with my setup. Just know 16gb is the standard. I'm already talking myself into spending more

Appreciate all your help guys, building pcs and picking parts would be a nightmare without you guys!
 
The Mech OC isn't that good. Go for the one I mentioned. If you enable your trust (little button bottom right of your post) I can email you the URL to the Powercolor.
