I'm building my first PC and I need some advice on which GPU to choose. I've got a 1080p 180Hz monitor and I mainly play games like CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, and Rocket League. I'm aiming for at least 144fps consistently for smooth gameplay. My budget for the GPU is around $100 or so more or less. I'm considering the RTX 5060 Ti, Intel B580, and RX 7600XT, but I've heard mixed reviews about these. Some say the 5060 Ti is overkill, others think the B580 is overpriced and not performing consistently, and the 7600XT seems to lag behind. I'll be pairing this with a Ryzen 5 9600X.

If you're playing competitive games, the RTX 5060 Ti is definitely the way to go. It has great support for features like NVIDIA Reflex, which gives you a competitive edge. Whether you choose the 8GB or 16GB version, both are more than enough for the games you're looking to play. However, if you're thinking about future-proofing for higher graphics games or resolutions, go for the 16GB version.
Is the 5060 Ti really that much better than the others I listed? I might just save that extra $100 if it’s not necessary.
