Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out the better option between the R7 5700X and the 5800XT. Both are brand new, with the 5700X priced at $106 and the 5800XT at $160. My current GPU is a 1060 6GB, and I'm not looking to upgrade that just yet. Any thoughts?

What about getting the 5700X3D? It might offer better performance for modern gaming, but I get that it could be out of budget for you.
Honestly, I don't think paying the extra for the 5800XT is worth it for you. The 1060 is quite outdated, so unless you're planning to upgrade your GPU soon, the 5700X should suffice for now. After all, you wouldn’t get the full benefit of the 5800XT with your current setup.
Thanks for the advice! I know my GPU isn't the greatest, but I'm hoping to upgrade it eventually.
Yeah, that's a little more than I can spend right now. Maybe I'll keep an eye out for sales!
