Hi!!

I loved this video!

One little question,

I bought a RX 580 from Sapphire around two months ago. I currently have an i7 2600K inside of my system. Too bad i can not overclock it because my mobo doesnt allow it.

I was looking at the Ryzen 5 2600. Do you think a 580(8GB) and a 2600 is a good combo?

Thanks!( btw i love your desktop profile picture, may i have a link to it?)
