Ryzen 1700 + RX580 1080p 144hz Freesync build
Hi all,
Was hoping you might have some input on this build. Wasn't too worried about cost, mostly just want to pump solid 1080p FPS to my 144hz Freesync monitor in CSGO and DOOM. Interested in grabbing Vega when it comes out but it seems like that's months away so I got the RX580 for 300. Thanks!

If you're actually considering dropping $700 on a 580 as you have listed, you'd be much better off getting into a 1080, or even a 1080Ti
Not $700 because PCPartPicker is crazy, was looking at them for ~$450 but did go for 1080 Ti in the end. Thanks!
450 is still pretty high considering the msrp. You could get a 1070 for that, or a 1080 for around 500 if you can find a regularly priced one
