Hey everyone! I'm really not too knowledgeable about graphics cards and am looking for some advice. I mostly want to build a PC that can handle the latest AAA games with decent graphics and frame rates, plus some strategy and indie games. I've seen a few budget-friendly options suggested like the RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RX 9060 XT, and Intel Arc B570. Could you please help me understand which of these might be the best fit for my needs? I'd love to hear about their pros and cons in simple terms. Thanks a lot!

If you're aiming for the cheapest option, it really depends on the resolution you're planning to play at. But if you want solid performance, the RX 9060 XT is still a great choice. Just check if you can get the 16GB version.
The RX 9060 XT is currently the best value for your money. It can handle 1080p and even 1440p gaming quite well, so you shouldn't have any issues there. Plus, it’s generally more affordable compared to the others on that list.
For any GPU costing over $300, you’ll want at least 12GB of VRAM if you plan to do anything serious. The RTX 4060 and 5060 don’t quite cut it for that. The 16GB RX 9060 XT is definitely the stronger option over the Intel Arc B570, unless you find the Intel one at a significantly lower price.
Exactly, the basics can be really tough to sift through. 1080p will be perfect for me too.
Thanks for the links! This kind of advice is super helpful when it's hard to find straightforward info online.
