Putting together a budget build, these are the specs,
CPU:Ryzen 5 2600
Mobo:b450m pro4
RAM:2×8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200mhz C16
SSD:512gb Adata SX6000 Lite
PSU: Coolermaster Masterwatt Bronze 550w
Case:Tecware Nexus M
Was initially going to get Powercolor Red Dragon rx570 8gb from PCThemes@165, but run out of stock. Now looking for alternatives. Was looking at Afox RX570 8gb@159 from Best Bargain Shopee or same powercolor rx 570@169 from this store on Shopee called PCSyntronics. Anyone know whether this store PCSyntronics is reliable and which option would be best? Or any other similar price alternatives?

What GPU you recommend? I thought no new gpu has better performance at this price point. 1650 performance worse price more, 1660 better performance but almost double the price and out of my budget

the gpu u are saying is so old already. buy new 1?

Rx 570 and GTX 1060 very hard to find local stock at below $200 now. Luckily manage to snap up a brand new gtx 1060 from pc themes couple months back at only $140 during 9/9 lazada sale with 5 years local warranty.

Now and then there might be less then $200 old pascal or rx 570 stocks on lazada but it quickly runs out of stock people snap it up really fast. And it doesn't help either when nvidia is pricing it's newer turing GPU at such expensive prices. GTX 1650, 1660 1660 ti all are so expensive. RTX 2060 - rtx 2080 ti also super overprice.

Not sure about AFox brand never seen it before but don't really recommend it. Doesn't look like it has local warranty. And international warranty also not sure have or not. The components and quality of parts it uses also is questionable.

Your best bet would be to go with a second hand gpu with some warranty left, or buy the overprice gtx 1660 for $320 at double the price of the gtx 1060 for just a little more frames rate @ 1080p resolution vs the gtx 1060. Or take a risk and go with the afox gpu.
