I'm looking to upgrade my PC to an AM4 setup since I can't afford an AM5 build right now. I'm considering using a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, but I'm not sure which graphics card would complement this system well. I've been thinking about options like the RTX 4060 or possibly the RX 7700 XT. My main goal is to avoid any bottlenecks. What graphics card recommendations do you have?

From what I've seen, anything in the 2080 Ti to 3080 Ti range could work well. Among the newer ones, the RX 9060 XT is another solid pick. Just keep in mind that there will always be some degree of bottleneck.
If you're gaming at 1440p, I wouldn't recommend anything higher than the RTX 3080 or the RX 4070. Those should work well without causing major bottlenecks. It really depends on the games you want to play and the settings you prefer, though.
I currently use a 5600X with 32GB RAM and a RX 5070. It runs games like Squad and Ready or Not smoothly. If you're gaming at 1080p, consider the RX 4060 or the 9060XT. They both pair nicely with that CPU.
I previously had a RX 6700 XT with a 5600X (and 32GB RAM) and it handled 1440p gaming just fine. Just make sure you're comfortable with some slight limitations as every setup has its constraints.
I play at 1440p with a 4070 Super, and it works great with my setup. Definitely a solid choice!
