Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a new computer system and I've decided to go with DDR4 RAM since DDR5 prices have skyrocketed. I'm planning to upgrade in a couple of years. Here's a quick rundown of GPU prices in my area (converted to dollars):
- 5060 Ti: $580 (used around $520)
- RTX 4070: Used prices between $400 and $470
- RX 9060 XT: $420 (used from $310 to $370)
- RX 7800 XT: $420 to $460
I'm considering pairing any of these GPUs with a Ryzen 5 5600X or 5700X processor. Which card do you think makes the most sense? Would it be better to go with Intel instead of sticking with AM4? Or do you have other GPU recommendations?

Honestly, I think the RX 9060 XT or the RX 7800 XT are your best bets for the money. They're solid choices and will handle games really well for the next few years, especially if you're looking for good graphics and performance.
If you're just starting out with gaming and plan to upgrade in a couple of years, I'd suggest sticking with something like an RTX 5050. It’s a great deal for around $210 and will handle most games well. Unless you're gaming at 1440p, it might make more sense to save your cash right now.
I totally get that but I'm wary of low-end cards because of their limited VRAM. That's why I'm leaning toward the 5060 or 5060 Ti with 8 GB. Plus, the 16 GB version sounds tempting; it's just hard to decide!
I don't know much about AMD cards, so I appreciate the advice! DLSS features are something I really want since they improve gameplay, but I feel like those cards can be pricey.
