AMD RX 5700 XT or AMD RX 5700

Need help Which gpu should I get? I mainly game on 1080p 144hz, I'm afraid that the 5700 XT would be an overkill. Should I save up that RM300 to buy a RX 5700 and get better pc parts or just get the RX 5700 XT for better future proofing? I've seen people flashing RX 5700 bios with RX 5700 XT bios to get better performance, is it worth it?

suggestions on building a new rig

hey guys, I'm planning to build a new pc on AMD platform. Do drop some suggestions on the parts that I've picked out so far.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Asus TUF B450-plus gaming
Corsair Vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8gb) 3000mhz
Asus Rog Strix Radeon RX580 8gb
Kingston A1000 NVMe PCIe 240GB SSD M.2 2280 SATA
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA HDD
Cooler Master MWE 550w 80+ Gold Fully Modular
Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240L RGB
Phanteks Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass

Is the 550w PSU sufficient for RX580 and ryzen 5 2600? I might overclock both of my cpu and gpu
Is the AIO good enough to cool ryzen 5 2600 if I overclock it?

i5 8600 or i7 8700

I’m planning to build a new rig mainly just for gaming and I don’t do rendering and all those stuff. Gpu wise I will wait for 11series card most probably gtx 1170/2070 since 80 is too expensive for me. Should I get i5 because I only use it for gaming. Both have 6 cores but i5 has no hyperthreading

Hi, I'm having a dilemma of which card to choose. Here are the specs of both card:

GIGABYTE GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC 8GB
https://www.lelong.com.my/gigabyte-gtx-1070...1213.1530009972

GIGABYTE GTX 1070Ti WINDFORCE 8GB
https://www.lelong.com.my/gigabyte-gtx-1070...8-08-Sale-P.htm

And I want to ask are there any pros and cons on the OC version compare to the TI version?

And also, does my specs counted as mid range pc?
