I'd try to stretch the budget to fit a 5700 XT

#

Though that wouldn't fit in the $350 budget sadly

#

I'd probably try to get a different case

What motherboard are you using?

last wraith
#

Maybe a cheap RX 560/580 would do the job?

stoic shoal
#

They already have a Rx 580 in the part list

last wraith
#

Oh i see

stoic shoal
#

Maybe get a deep cool matrexx 40 case if the board is matx

last wraith
#

Not sure if 550W is enough

stoic shoal
#

It's a bit cheaper and has good build quality and airflow

Under full load the 580 draws like 180 watts and the 2600x only draws like another hundred during peak all core load

#

Oh ok

#

Anyway what monitor do you have @bright narwhal

stoic shoal
#

Transient spikes only became a problem the last 2 gens or so because the high end cards shot up in power draw so much

#

Older cards have them still obviously but they don't draw enough power to begin with to make it a huge issue

#

If the budget is still $350 including the board...you might have to make some cutbacks
