I'm upgrading my entire PC and have decided on the Ryzen 5 5600x along with a new motherboard. However, I'm struggling to find a suitable GPU. I considered the B580, but prices are climbing. Ideally, I want a GPU that costs no more than $320 and can run games on ultra settings at 1080p, with the possibility of 1440p performance.

For that price point, I’d recommend looking at used GPUs. It’s better to avoid Intel GPUs and aim for something with at least 12GB of VRAM. Having 16GB is even better, but it might be hard to find within your budget.
Consider the 5060 Ti with 16GB or the 9060 XT with 16GB. Both should perform well for your needs.
The B580 is definitely your best choice within that budget if you're going for new cards. However, if you’re open to used options, the 9060 XT with 16GB would be a great alternative, though it's usually closer to $400.
Honestly, you might want to reconsider the 5600x. Some users report a lot of microstutters with it.
If I skip the 5600x, which AM4 CPU should I look for under $140?
What are some good used GPU models around that price?
