I recently encountered an issue with my pre-built gaming PC where the GPU stopped working. I'm looking to upgrade but I need to stay within a budget of $500. My gaming preference leans towards fighting games and souls games, with the most demanding title I play being Path of Exile. I would really appreciate any suggestions on which graphics card to get. Also, I recently upgraded my RAM to SP Silicon Power DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) Zenith 6000MHz. Here's a link to my pre-built system for reference: https://www.newegg.com/yeyian-tanto-gaming-desktop-geforce-rtx-4060-amd-ryzen-5-7500f-16gb-ddr5-1tb-pcie-ssd-ypa-ta750fb-4601u/p/N82E16883630034

I’d suggest going for the RX 9060 XT 16GB. It's a solid choice for your budget and gaming needs. You could look into the used market too, but I’d recommend sticking with something reliable to avoid potential issues.
You might want to consider the 5060 Ti 16GB, as it's priced decently right now. It should handle your gaming just fine!
Both the 9060 XT and the 5060 Ti are good options. Just make sure to get the 16GB version of either one to ensure smooth gameplay.
Can we just agree that everyone should be getting the 9070 XT?
The 9070 XT is actually over $500. Maybe check the question details next time?
