which one wold pair up better, less bottleneck and all that, a bottleneck calculator said the 560 works better, can i trust it? Is there any other gpus i should consider? (Small budget, Brazil is complicated)

(I use linux, if that changes something)

Thanks for the answers! But oh, yeah those 570 seem pretty good, problem is i already just bought a 400W PSU some days ago, didn't search up properly haha, pain

Aand also, i can't really seem to find any 570 being sold here on Brazil for a decent price, the price tag difference from a 560 to a 570 is like, veery big, and importation isn't really an option since fees would basically double the price

The cheapest not used 560 i could find here is currently being sold at R$623,52 (if purchased in installments, slightly cheaper if not) which in a direct conversion would be 118,67 USD

The only option on that level for a lower price would be those used refurbished ones from aliexpress, some of them have stock on Brazil, but i haven't heard that good of their durability, and my power supply wouldn't be able to handle them anyway

Yeah, it's complicated, not sure but i guess it's cuz the higher end stuff is just so out of reality for most people here that the demand for the older stuff goes up enough for it to become pricey too, and there's also the insane import taxation that began recently just making everything worse

Little extra question tho, is there really no way that this 400W PSU could handle one of those? i mean, its TDP seems to be 150W, with the 77W from the i5, there's still bit left there till 400
