I'm planning to build a gaming PC for around $800, aiming for high settings at 1080p. I want something that will last a while, and I prefer a larger case to make future upgrades easier. Here's my progress so far: [link to builder](https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=bd517aff-66e4-4367-af47-53ab2fd45959). I'm really struggling with which GPU to choose, though. Any advice?

First off, you have a micro ATX motherboard in an ATX case. While it will fit, it’s going to look a bit odd. Consider upgrading to 32GB of RAM instead of 16GB since that’s becoming the standard these days. For your GPU, I recommend aiming for the RX 6800 if you can find it used. It offers way better performance compared to the RX 7600, especially with the 8GB VRAM. If the RX 6800 is out of reach, look at used RX 6700 XT options. Trust me, it’s worth the extra effort to get a better GPU!
Thanks for pointing that out about the motherboard! I was also looking at GPUs like the Intel Arc series and the 3060. Do you think those are good options?
