Hello, I recently purchased a used RX 580 with 8GB RAM (used for gaming, not mining) for 100 euros. I’m considering upgrading my current setup—an i5 2500 and 10GB of 1333MHz RAM—to an i7 3770 with 16GB of 1333 or 1600MHz RAM. I mainly use the PC for browsing and playing games. My main concern is whether the i7 3rd generation and 16GB RAM will suffice for the RX 580, and if the higher clock speed of 1600MHz makes a noticeable difference compared to 1333MHz. Thank you!
