Hi guys i'm from Bulgaria and i plan to upgrade my pc. So far i've got r5 1500x 8gb ddr4 ram and i cant find a good deal on graphics card. I wanna buy rx 580 but they are out of stock at most places and my best offer is around 450 euros but its too expensive for me with all this bitcoin mining so should i wait for price to come down or buy gtx 1050ti for around 175 euros. I could wait for vega too but amd may not release a card at that price. What should i do?

If you can wait, your money will go further.

Even VEGA, while there may not be a card in your budget, the miners will move on to it. Availability will increase on the "older" cards as a result.

Even though the 1050TI is a respectable card, if you have your mind set on a 580 or equivalent, it would be a bit underwhelming.

The MSRP on an 8GB RX580 is $229 (201 EUR + regional differences). It'll likely take some time for them to get back down to that pricepoint.
It may well be worth looking to the used market for something to use in the meantime...
