Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I could really use some guidance on choosing a GPU. Initially, I was planning to go for a Ryzen 7 5800X paired with an AMD Radeon 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM. However, I've been seeing a lot of negative comments about it online, with many people claiming the RTX 5060 is a superior choice.
I really want to play BeamNG on ultra settings, which has me concerned. While the RTX 5060 is within my budget, it only has 8GB of VRAM, and people say that might not be enough for the future. I thought the 5060 Ti was too pricey, but it's now available for the same price as the 9060 XT, so I could consider that option too.
Also, I've decided to switch to AM5 and am thinking about going with the Ryzen 5 7600X instead. Does this sound like a good choice for my needs? I'd appreciate any advice you can give!

Honestly, I think the 9060 XT is a solid choice. It's got more VRAM and generally performs better at high settings compared to the 5060. In terms of value, you're not really sacrificing performance for just a hundred bucks more, and it won’t run into VRAM limitations at 1440p. Plus, the Ryzen 5 7600X is a good pick for a gaming rig on AM5.
