Yup, mine has been working fine even at full gaming load

Most OEMs or even AMD themselves often overrate their PSUs in order to accommodate lower quality PSUs in the market

Driver issues is a non-problem for me, and my 5700XT has been gaming comfortably without issues at all

Fixed that for you

What grinding noise is that? Does it sound like electrical noise or something else?

The fans not spinning during low load is pretty normal as your card is likely to have the zero RPM fan feature (to keep noise levels low)

Which version of Windows is this? If it's Windows 10 you should consider upgrading to version 2004

Mine has been working very nicely so far even on day one drivers, except for some sporadic crashes on games like Monster Hunter World (although Capcom did eventually fix the game)

Weirdly enough in my case despite Windows Update says it's not compatible for my machine, the update actually worked perfectly fine in my machine even I forced an update via the Update Assistant

If you can wait then you can always wait for Ampere/RDNA2, but might not be cheap and there are some rumors that Ampere is a very power hungry card (the consumer variant of Ampere is rumored to have 300W+ of TDP, IINM)

? Mine has been fully stable since I had my HD7950 so....

Below 2K? Look for a Sapphire/PowerColor/Gigabyte 5700 XT if you can

No issues so far, apart from sporadic crashes from Monster Hunter World that is (albeit this has been fixed for quite some time, and the game wasn't exactly a very optimized one on PCs)

Not much, apart from disabling Chrome hardware acceleration during the early days of ownership (I bought mine since day one the card's release)

My current PC specs is in my signature, so yes I'm on a 3600 right now

Funnily enough the pricing situation is the exact opposite here

The 5700XT prices here seems to have a rather big premium over what overseas market charge for the same card, but the 2060/2070 Super is very competitively priced when compared to other markets

JayzTwoCents seem to have 'leaked' the cooler designs of their RX6000 cards

IINM, Igor's Lab seems to hint that there is a refresh of the RX5700/XT at a much lower price...

To be fair though, with the shortage and the capacitor issues plaguing the current crop of RTX GPUs, AMD can rest easy.... for now

Also Navi 22 will likely to have a maximum clock speed of 2.5GHz

Probably the RX5700/XT will get refreshed as a different GPU, and priced them low enough as a replacement of their RX570/580

Likely fake:

IINM there's something like a 128MB/256MB Infinity Cache that is supposed to alleviate the bottleneck

? I never have issues with FreeSync so far - maybe I'm lucky?

No, but why would I want to leave my PC turned on for so long?

A somewhat nice advantage for the RX6000 GPUs is that the fact it is quite a bit smaller and less power hungry than the Ampere GPUs which mean it should be great for smaller form factor PCs (mine included)

The panel QC on most consumer monitors (including gaming monitors) these days are a hit or miss (usually non-existent) - just go to any PC hardware forum and you'll see lots of complaints like IPS glow/BLB/flickering/others.... Even the ridiculously-priced monitors are not spared either

I know there are some people eventually went for a LG OLED TV or even end up going back to a high end CRT (like the famous Sony FW900) after they gave up on waiting for a monitor with decent QC or just tired of playing the panel lottery (very common on AUO panels)

The last years where panel manufacturers actually QC their panels was the early 2010s, mind you, and if you want a monitor with decent QC these days you'll have to pay very high prices for professional grade monitors (like those Eizos/HP Dreamcolor), but you can basically forget about gaming on it (it's meant for color critical work, not gaming)
