Well, i'm still waiting, RX are under shortage and when it is on the shelves it is utterly overpriced. 

My Intel HD 630 from 7700k is surprising me, it is holding up well on all my current games at 1080p. I'll stick with it untill the new VEGA lineup is launched, or the new 1100 series from Nvidia gets released, so things will settle down a bit and prices for current gen gets better.

Almost 80% of the total bitcoins produced (21 million) have already been mined, thus making it harder to mine new coins. Also, BTC use a considerable amount of power now due to how big the network is. To answer your question, "is it still useful to continue mining btc at this stage?", I'de say its a hit or miss. Right now the price of BTC is around $4000. If you predict it to continue to go up (lets say $10,000) than yea it is still useful. If you think it will stay at $4000, or even dip under $4000, I'de say no it is not useful.

 

Me personally, I don't mine bitcoin. I mine Ethereum and wont sell any for at least another 11 months. Hoping to see a price increase in the near future.

The RX 580s I got are strictly for mining, not for gaming. I still got GTX 1080s in my two desktop PCs.
