I'm a complete beginner when it comes to building PCs and I'm looking for some advice on graphics cards. I mainly play games like RimWorld and Hearts of Iron 4, which aren't very demanding, but I'd like the option to play more graphically intensive games from time to time. I want a reliable GPU that won't break the bank and will last me a while. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you want a bit more performance for less, look at used GPUs like the 5700xt which you can snag for about $120-$150 on eBay. It should provide a good experience even for 4K gaming using some upscaling techniques.
Depends on your budget! If you're looking new, the 9060XT 16GB is around $370. You might also consider the RTX 5060 Ti at about $280. For a used option, a 3060 Ti can go for around $200, which is a pretty decent deal.
The RX 9060XT 16GB is a good pick; it can handle just about any game you throw at it. If you're not maxing out graphics settings, it should serve you well for a long time.
I'd recommend checking out the Arc B580 or the Radeon 9060XT. The Arc is budget-friendly at around $240-$250, while the 16GB version of the 9060XT is a solid choice, usually priced between $349-$399. Both are great value options right now.
Before you decide, think about how much you can spend and the resolution you want to play at. Knowing what frame rates and settings you’re comfortable with will help narrow down the options!
