I need some advice on whether my brother should upgrade his GPU. He recently bought a PC on Black Friday that came with a 5060 graphics card. While I know it's a decent modern card, he wants to game at 1440p, and I'm unsure if it's the best choice for that resolution. I'm also considering the rising GPU prices. Here's his build: CPU: i5 225F, GPU: 5060 8GB, RAM: 32GB DDR5, and PSU: 600W 80 Plus Gold.

What's his budget? If he's looking for good performance, the 9070 XT for about $600 or the 9070 for $530 are solid picks.
He doesn’t have a strict budget; plans to upgrade around $250 a month gradually. I'm thinking he should save for a couple of months to upgrade either the GPU or the CPU and motherboard combo.
