If you go that route, a B550 mobo would shave a few dollars. This will hopefully come down in the next six months but for sure MSRP won't be a routinely available price for another 12-18 months.Īnd I'd be surprised if you can bundle a 3600X + X570 mobo + extra RAM for $500. This is a card one would use if their CPU doesn't have integrated graphics (like the Ryzen 3700X mine is paired with).Īt least in the USA, the common street price of a GPU is still 3x-4x the MSRP for older cards. With two gigs of VRAM, this card isn't realistically viable for ETH mining (which preferably needs 6 GB VRAM) so today's exorbitant prices were mostly driven by desperate gamers trying to get anything that passes POST.

$65 is what this card is realistically worth - in a sane universe. My RX 550 was $65 when I bought it in October 2020, down from the $79 launch price of the AMD reference card. Hell I still see the RX 550 2GB for nearly $300. The RX 580 in your system is still going for ~$700 from third-party Amazon sellers the street price was $180 in August 2020.

Well, you're not going to upgrade the GPU with a $500 budget.
