I'm looking to upgrade my PC's graphics, currently, I'm using integrated graphics with an Intel i5 8500 CPU. My dad built this PC for me, and I've been doing some research on getting a dedicated GPU. I'm considering either the RX 7600 with either 8GB or 16GB (whichever is available). I primarily play games like Minecraft and Genshin, and I want to try out Neverness to Everness when it comes out. I don't need to play on max settings; I'm fine with low to medium settings for smooth gameplay. Since I have a background in mobile gaming, I'm used to more basic performance. What do you guys recommend? Should I go with the RX 7600, or is there a better option?

If you're on a budget and looking for performance, I'd suggest going for the 16GB version if possible. You can always find comparisons on sites like Tom's Hardware or TechPowerUp to help you decide!
Instead of getting a new GPU, you might want to consider the used market. Something like the RX 580 is a great budget option and should cost around $45. This way, you could save your money for future upgrades like a monitor or new CPU. Just a thought!
I’m not really into Nvidia, so I want to stick with AMD. Plus, buying used is a hassle where I live; shipping issues and scams are common!
For 1080p gaming on medium to high settings, the RTX 5050 8GB is worth considering. It's around $250 and performs significantly better than the RX 7600 in many games. Just make sure to check local prices, as they can vary a lot!
I’ve noticed the RTX 5050 costs more than the RX 7600 around my area, so I’ll have to explore that option!

What do you mean by comparisons? Are there specs I should look out for?
