Hi guys, im going to buy a rx 580 stock version i think, and i have a ryzen 1600 4ghz @1,37vcore, 2 fans of 120mm, 1 hard disk, mouse and keyboard gaming with lights, 1 mic and 1 headphone.

And my PSU is a thermaltake TR2 600 watts, it will be enoght? Otherwise what video card can you recommend for the same or lower prive for not changing my PSU?
I just want 1080p gaming in one monitor beacuse here monitors are really expensive but i want to play all in ultra, i was thinking in a gtx 1060 but im not sure at all because rx 580 may be to much graphics card for just 1080p

Really thanks guys

both the 1060 and 580 are perfect at 1080p for ultra.

The PSU doesn't seem to have good ratings, at least not any that I can find. At 600 watts chances are you may have enough to drive the card fine, providing it's not very old and hasn't pushed too hard. If you are OC'ing your CPU and/or the card, you may want to spring a little cash on getting a better quality PSU. Too many people skimp on the PSU and it can cause problems.

At 4ghz on the R1600 you are drawing about 130w. The 580 is drawing 185w max, so thats about 300 or so, and with another 100 or so for the rest o fyour components. So in theory you should be okay.

Okay, seem like the watts are enought, i have right now 1 shappite hd 6950 with a lot of oc and its running great.

So let me make one more question, 1060 and 580 are enought for 1080p ultra gaming, can maybe go on one lower than that? 1050 ti or something? Or rx 570?

Really thanks

I would replace the PSU, that's not good at all.

The GTX 1060 and RX 580 are about the same performance wise.

not at 1080p. You need the 1060/580 min for ultra. (well at least for any new games and most AAA) You will get playable with a 1050ti or 570 but not ultra, for older games yes, ultra is possible. but for today's games like BF1/Woflenstein2, PUBG etc Med-high with the the 1050ti/570
