Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a PC with the R7 7800X3D, and I'm at a crossroads on whether to order the RX 7600 XT 16GB right now or hold out for the upcoming 9060 XT that's rumored to drop on May 18th. The expected starting price for the 9060 XT is around $600, but I'm unsure about which GPU would provide better performance and fit well aesthetically, especially since the 9060 XT has a cooler design with three fans. The RX 7600 XT feels like a decent mid-tier option for my setup, but I'm worried it might not be the perfect match for my CPU. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Honestly, you might want to aim higher than the 7600 XT. Something like the 7800 XT would pair much better with your 7800X3D. Don’t settle for mid-tier when your CPU is so powerful.
$600 for the 9060 XT does sound pretty steep. If you can manage to wait a bit, it might be worth it, but the price might keep pushing up, too.
Dude, any GPU below the 7800 XT with your 7800X3D is just not a good match. If you really don’t want to sell your CPU, maybe consider saving up a bit for a better GPU instead.
I hear you! I just don’t want to sell my CPU. I'm hoping to find something that can complement it without having to make any drastic changes.
