Hey everyone! I'm working on building a new PC and primarily want to enjoy Oblivion Remastered at 1440p, but I'll also be using it for other gaming and general productivity tasks (no graphic design). Here's what I have so far for my build:
- **Motherboard**: MSI PRO PRO H610M-G WIFI DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel H610 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX
- **GPU**: Intel Arc B580
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5-12600KF
- **RAM**: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200
- **PSU**: MSI MAG A650BN 650W ATX 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
- **Cooler**: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3 CPU Air Cooler
I have a couple of questions:
1. I'm willing to invest an extra $100 CAD if it could significantly boost my performance. Are there any upgrades worth considering, or is there something currently on my list that I could change to save some cash without sacrificing quality?
2. I'm torn between sticking with the B580, or going for the RTX 4060 or RX 7600. Is there a clear choice that stands out, as I've found mixed opinions online?
Just a heads-up, my total budget is around $1000 CAD before tax, excluding the case and peripherals. Thanks a lot for your help!

If you're looking for a solid GPU, I’d recommend checking out the 7700XT if it's in your budget. Also, pairing it with an AMD CPU like the Ryzen 5 7500F could be a smart move since it offers great performance and keeps you on the AM5 platform for future upgrades. Just a thought!
I appreciate the suggestion! Is the upgrade to the Ryzen worth it in terms of performance compared to my Intel choice?
