I was gonna go 4k 60Hz but everyone tells me I'm an idiot. So here I am buying this shit. Sorry 4k - you're going back home to the Amazon warehouse.
Problem is I was gonna get the 5700 XT Nitro but now I gotta go Nvidia huh? Probably a 2060 Super. Opinions?
I grabbed one of these (up from a GTX9500): https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-RTX-2060-VENTUS/dp/B07MC23VS4
Seems like it's a nice bang/buck, comes with DDR6 and Turing.
Managed to get mine on sale ~80bucks off; look around.
Also, the best single thing you can do to improve performance nowadays (SSD's seem standard) is to max out RAM on the MOBO and disable the paging file. Assuming your RAM-space is large enough not to fall over, Windows will never need to cache to disk.
RX580 is a 1080p/60hz card, it's likely going to struggle a bit hitting 144 depending on the game. You can also get them for under $200 so $250 IMO is waaaay too high.
I would aim for this:

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone experienced constant game crashes on their machine? Any sort of game that I play, at a certain point, whether it be 5 mins of playing or 1 hour of play, the game would freeze or crash. For example, I was playing Destiny 2 on my machine and after playing for about 30 mins, the game would crash with an error saying that my GPU crashed. The error code was Broccoli. I looked this error code up and the suggestions were to update my driver which was already done with the latest one.
On other games, like CS GO, Witcher 3, Civilization 6 (this was a shocker) and League of Legends (also shocker) the screen would freeze but the sound would still be playing. I can hear the game progressing but the application is frozen. the only way to get out of this is to bring up the task manager and kill the game which is not what i want to do in a intense situation in a MMO type of game...
Below are my specs:
Graphics Card: MSI RTX2060 6GB OC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MC23VS4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have read numerous articles on why the screen freezes and the sound keeps on playing and I have tried their recommendations. None have worked. I have replaced the Graphics card twice through amazon because the Driver test failed on me. The one that I have now didn't fail so I kept it. Below are the things that I have tried:
I had this build for about 3 months now and I cant even return it even if i wanted to. I am really lost here. This is really shocking to me. 3 months is basically nothing for the amount that I have invested on this machine and all the things that I expect to run on it are crashing, absolutely unplayable. This is unacceptable on all spectrum. I shouldn't have to worry about my game crashing or freezing every time.
Am I alone here? Anyone have this issue?

Get the one that says Used - Very Good from Amazon Warehouse. It says $316.56 but there will be a 20% discount applied at checkout.
I'd say it's more of a silver, it's this one here: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-RTX-2060-VENTUS/dp/B07MC23VS4/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=2060+ventus&qid=1599546161&sr=8-3
Def not amazon. Nah, but as long as you don't try and crank your settings to complete max, the 2060 handles RTX semi-well, I mean it is meant for RTX.

Make sure it’s the used-very good listing from Amazon Warehouse.
The 20% discount applies at Checkout so it will show as $316.56 before checkout.
You could get an rtx 2060 such as this one or an rx 5700 such as this one. They both trade blows, but the 5700 has 8gb of vram, and the 2060s at that price have non-blower coolers and slightly lower power consumption.
I would recommend parts list #2 with a:
and a different ram kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MTZN7ZD/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A26PVB3960EU85&th=1
I got an RTX 2060 and have loved it. I don't know how loud it is because my CPU cooler is louder than everything in my pc right know lol.

So far so good low temp and great performance in 1440p!
Yeah, it was just a placeholder. U can get it from amazon now, since its sold out on newegg https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-192-bit-Architecture-Graphics/dp/B07MC23VS4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1547739044&sr=8-4&keywords=rtx+2060
