I'm looking for some guidance on picking a GPU for my PC build. Here are my specs: I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU, an MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi motherboard, 16GB of Lexar Thor DDR4 RAM, a Kingston NV3 NVMe 1TB SSD, and a be quiet! System Power 11 650W power supply. My case is a Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L V1. Since this is my first build and it's entry-level, I'm trying to keep costs low. My budget is a maximum of 300€ and I'm aiming for a mid or entry-level GPU that will be somewhat future-proof. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

If you're looking for a good entry-level GPU, I'd recommend considering the 5060 or the 9060XT 8GB, depending on what you can find for a better price. They both handle 1080p gaming pretty well, but if you’re looking to play at 1440p, you might want to look at the B580—it has 12GB of VRAM and can do a bit better for that resolution. Also, keep an eye out for used options like the 6750XT if you're okay with getting a second-hand card, as it's solid for 1440p.
Thanks for the tips! I'm still figuring things out, so I may start with the 5600G for now and save up for a better GPU later. I'm just a bit wary about buying used GPUs and their conditions.
