I'm new to building PCs and want to create my first setup, but I'm constrained to AM4 due to RAM costs. I'm looking for a GPU around €500 that I can pair with my AM4 motherboard. I've heard that different GPUs like the 9070 and 7800 have different specs, and I'm a bit confused about the AM4 and AM5 compatibility. Could anyone clarify how GPUs relate to the AM4 socket? I primarily want to play games like Call of Duty multiplayer and Warzone, and I'll be using 32GB DDR4 RAM. Any additional tips, especially about choosing RAM or any crucial specifications, would be super helpful. Thanks!

AM4 and AM5 are CPU socket types; they don’t restrict your GPU options. You can easily select any GPU without worrying about whether it’s for AM4 or AM5. Just focus on finding one that fits your budget and gaming needs!
So, is the 9070 a good pick for me? It has those AM5 pins, right? How does that work?
