Hello, I've been waiting to upgrade my CPU (mb and RAM too, obviously) for some time now. I even made a post here not too long ago, I was currently waiting to see Zen+ performance to make a decision. However, there was a pre-built PC on offer from 10pm to 10am yesterday, and I thought it was a good deal, I didn't have much time to think and got it (I have 30 days to return it if needed anyway). Its a Medion Microstar PCC499-M55 P6401 D, Ryzen 5 1600, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM (probably the slowest ones since it isn't specified), and a RX 480 8GB, with some case and PSU. Price was 449€. (was it a good deal or did I made a mistake?). I'm planning on re-using my case (if the new mb fits), psu, SSD and HDD, and probably can mount a home server or something with the spare parts in the future.
I have to wait for it to be shipped but I though about selling one of the GPUs (either the GTX 1060 6GB or the RX 480), so I can cover about half the price of what I paid (I think, I would appreciate an estimation), sell the 2500K, mb and 16GB of RAM too (got an offer of 160€ a couple of days ago, not sure if it's good or not), and get the new rig going for the next 2-3 years at least (upgrade ram when the prices get lowered) for a little investment.
Now, I think the GTX 1060 is better, especially because I have an overclocked version. But I think RX480 is not that far off, has two more GB of VRAM and in the past, they have aged better than Nvidia. What do you guys think? I tried watching some reviews and it seems Nvidia comes on top especially in DX11, but I got valuable help in this forum in the past so I thought I could ask for your opinion.
Regards.
