Hey everyone! I'm ready to upgrade my graphics card and I'm looking for some solid recommendations. I tend to play a lot of games and I'm aiming for something in the mid-range, ideally around $500 max. Here are my current specs:
- **CPU**: Intel i5-12600K
- **RAM**: 32 GB DDR4
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB
- **Storage**: 1TB SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus
- **PSU**: Corsair RM850X (850W)
- **Monitor**: 1080p 165Hz
I'd really appreciate any advice on which GPU to go for! Thanks!

If you're open to used cards, you might find a great deal on something like an RTX 2070 Super, which could also fit your budget. Just keep an eye on the condition and warranty of the card before buying!
Hey! Given your budget and specs, I'd recommend looking at the NVIDIA RTX 3060 or maybe the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. Both should give you a great performance boost over your GTX 1060, especially at 1080p with your 165Hz monitor.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve heard good things about both those GPUs. Do they run well with my CPU?
Good to know! I'll check the used market but I'll definitely be cautious. Appreciate the heads up!
