Hey everyone! I'm totally clueless about PC stuff, but I want to surprise my boyfriend with a graphics card for his birthday. He mentioned he wants a 4060, but when I look online, I see so many different options, and I'm getting confused. I think he has a micro ATX case, so I wonder if there's a specific type of 4060 that I should get. Should I just go for the cheapest one? I've also heard he might need a new power supply. I found this gaming model online—does it seem like a good choice?

Just grab the cheapest 4060 you can find. It’s already an older model since the 4060 is a generation behind, so you could even look for a 5070 if the price is right.
It really doesn't matter much which 4060 you get. They all perform closely, and it really comes down to your budget. Just make sure to check the card length to fit your boyfriend's case!
If you’re considering a 4060, I'd actually suggest going for a 4060 Ti. The Ti version is typically better than the standard one. All the brands are pretty much the same in terms of performance, so focus on the price. But don’t skip over the possibility of finding a 7600 or 7800 XT, which could be priced similarly but offer more power!
Honestly, considering the price of the 4060, you might want to check out the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. It's a newer release with better value, and you’ll find plenty in stock. It has double the VRAM compared to the 4060, so it’s just a better option overall!
The 4060 isn't a top-tier card, so buying any version is fine. They all come from different manufacturers, and the performance is quite similar across the board. Just keep in mind some have better warranties or aesthetics, so choose what's best for your budget!
Exactly! Don't stress too much over the brand; focus on finding something that fits and that he'll enjoy.
