I think this will be my final update. Found a decenly priced monitor with Freesync. Changed the 580 t0 4GB VRAM to save a bit of money. Besides 8 GB VRAM is overkill for 1080p.

Correct. 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. |
How's my current power supply? Is EVGA reliable? Is Gold Standard quality enough? Or should I drop an extra $50 on Titantium/Platinum?

If I were you, I'd go with the 8GB variant of the 580. Not just because the extra memory (not as overkill as you may think), but also because most 4GB boards have slightly lower clocks for the memory, so you're losing not only capacity, but also performance.
A Gold rated PSU is more than enough. The extra price of higher rated models aren't worth it unless your electricity is very expensive. If you want to spend more money on a PSU, do it by going with a fully modular unit.
Please excuse my bad English.

I agree with JEMC.
Any reputable brand (I.E. EVGA/Corsair/Seasonic) and so on will be reliable... Well. They certainly won't be a Shaw which can catch on fire or explode.

Well the 8GB version is now the same price as the 4GB version. So whatever is more cost effective.
I don't know why you would get a 4 GB graphics card over an 8 GB one. Do you want your build to be obsolete in a year? The RX 580 8GB were had for $349.99 during the mining craze (cheap) but you can probably find one for $299.99 or less now.

I changed it back to the 8GB version, since the prices for both are the same (At least any models with good reviews).
Just bumping this thread, since I'll be buying parts on Thursday.
Hey! It's been more than a month simce you bought your parts. How's the PC going? Are you happy with it?
