Hey everyone! I'm a bit lost when it comes to choosing a graphics card. I mostly want to build a PC that can handle the latest AAA games with decent graphics and good frame rates, plus play some indie games and strategy titles. I've heard some recommendations for budget-friendly options like the RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RX 9060 XT, and Intel Arc B570. Can anyone explain in simple terms which one of these would suit my needs the best, along with their pros and cons? Thanks a lot!

The RX 9060 XT offers the best value right now, letting you comfortably play any game at 1080p and even 1440p. It's a great option if you want solid performance without breaking the bank.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
It really helps to know your desired resolution. If you’re aiming for 1080p, the RX 9060 XT is a smart choice. If you want the cheapest option, just make sure it can handle your specs.
Yeah, 1080p works for me!
If you're playing at 4K and want high refresh rates, go for the top-tier cards. For 1080p gaming, the AMD options like the RX 9060 XT should serve you well without requiring a premium price.
Keep in mind that the generation number indicates age and performance grouping. Generally, AMD cards tend to be cheaper and provide competitive performance for gaming. Just know what resolution and frame rates you're aiming for when you pick your card!
This is super helpful—thanks! I find it hard to find basic info on GPUs!
Considering VRAM is key; 12GB is the minimum for good performance in games over $300. The RX 9060 XT with 16GB is significantly faster than the Intel B570 and B580—only go for Intel if it’s much cheaper.
Just make sure to go for the 16GB version for better performance!
