>i9 9900k - VM Work / Streaming / Video editing

RAM:
>Always choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recommended
>CPUs benefit from high speed RAM; 3000CL15 or 3200CL16 is ideal
>AMD B and X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP

Graphics cards based on current pricing:
>Used cards can be had for a steal; inquire about warranty
1080p
>RX 570 8GB - good performance with great value
>GTX 1660 - standard
>RTX 2060 - very high framerates (requires complementary CPU and monitor)
1440p
>RTX 2060 - standard
>RTX 2080 - very high framerates (requires complementary CPU and monitor)
2160p (4K)
>RTX 2080 - standard

Would 500w be enough to run a build with a 1070(maybe ti) and maybe a 2600(x) cpu?

Oh boy it's a troll CPU section

RX 580 8GB or RX 590 8GB?

Price difference is €181 vs €225, mind you with the RX590 you get 3 games instead of 3 (DMC5,Division 2 and RE2).

I would buy those games anyway so it's a pretty sweet deal. The 1660 I could get for €235 but obviously without games.

If you want all 3 games, the 590. The Division/2 is fucking awful though, imo.
If you don't then 580 saves money, or 1660 gives you better efficiency.

Yes.

I guess the 1660 would give me better efficiency, but I have a freesync monitor, so there's that too.

Also I like division, though the end-game is kind of dull atm. Already sunk 40 hours into it on xbox, but all my friends are on PC.

if i want to max 1080p60 would a 1060 be sufficient?

How come there are so many brands of graphics cards? Are they all the same hardware? Some have more fans and leds it looks like, but the same motherboard is compatible with all of them right?
