The GTX 1060 hardly outperforms the RX 570 and the extra gig of framebuffer over the GTX 1060 3GB can make a difference. |
Like you alluded prior, the frame-buffer size is less important at 1080P. - At 1440P is when I would opt for the RX 570.

The Geforce 1060 3GB should also use less power. SO there is that caveat as well. - AMD's entire GPU lineup is pretty terrible across the entire spectrum when you start accounting for that.
nVidia is simply superior outside of Asynchronous Compute, that's a fact.

Apparently PSU units perform best when they only have to output 60% to 80% of their total wattage. Changed the 580 GPU to one that was recommended by logicalincrements.com. Edit: I went back to the 3200 RAM, and am using a different board. Boards that support 3600 RAM speeds are expensive. Now using a 1TB SSD. |
Correct.
Power Supply Units have an "efficiency curve". - That will of course change depending on the load (I.E. Gaming vs Desktop), temperature (I.E. Fans spin up using more energy, PSU efficiency goes down the hotter it gets.)
For a single Radeon RX 580 and a Ryzen 2700X however, you shouldn't need anymore than a quality 600w-700w unit. And please get a quality unit, it should outlive your PC that way.
I would invest in a quality motherboard anyway. - The DDR4 speed will impact CPU performance, which will impact turn times... So don't underestimate it, I would go with a smaller SSD (500GB~) if it meant faster Ram, but that's just me personally.
