I'm in the process of building my first gaming PC and I need help selecting a GPU that fits my budget of $351 or less. A month ago, I hastily bought the necessary parts due to rising prices and taxes on PC components in my area, which added a significant cost to my purchase. Right now, I have a Ryzen 5 8500G APU and I'm looking to play games like PUBG, Warthunder, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2.0, and GTA 5, primarily at 1440p (or maybe 1080p if needed).
Here are my current specs:
- Ryzen 5 8500G - $162.6
- 512 GB SSD - $62.62
- 16GB DDR5 RAM - $141.79
- Colorful Battleaxe B650 Motherboard - $110.57
- Coconut Bronze 550W PSU - $39.02
I have some GPU options in mind:
1. Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8GB - $270.08
2. Inno3D RTX 4060 Twin X2 8GB - $303.15
3. ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060XT 8GB - $319.68
4. ASRock Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend 12GB - $325.20
5. Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 XT Gaming OC 16GB - $351.61
I'm currently leaning towards the B580 for its high VRAM, but I'm curious how it stacks up against the 7600 XT and the 9060XT. Any suggestions?

If you're open to buying used, a 3080 could be a great option. It's still powerful enough for 1440p gaming and might fit within your budget!
I actually have a 3080 that I could sell for around $350 shipped! Let me know if you're interested.
