Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my first PC and I've settled on getting a Ryzen 5 7600x CPU. However, I'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to selecting a GPU. The tech jargon is overwhelming, and there's all this talk about bottlenecks that has me pretty worried. I'm looking for some straightforward advice on what I should consider when picking a GPU. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Also, I'm hoping to keep things simple since I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. Thanks a lot!

If you're in the US and can't access Micro Center, check out Newegg for some combo deals with your 7600X. They often offer discounts and even free coolers when you buy certain items together!
Don’t stress too much about bottlenecks! Just avoid pairing your 7600X with something like an RTX 5090, which would be overkill. A great fit would be the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB (go for the 16GB version). What’s your budget?
I’m looking to keep my total build under $1.3k. I’m browsing online since the nearest Micro Center is a bit far from me!
