Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC with a budget of around $1,300 CAD (or about $950 USD) and I've chosen the Ryzen 5 7600 as my processor. I'm trying to find the best GPU that I can pair with it for 1080p gaming without breaking the bank. Any recommendations?

If you can swing the RX 9060 XT 16GB, you'll be able to max out 1080p settings easily, or even play at high settings in 1440p. If you're open to buying used, look for a 6700 XT or 6750 XT in the $270-$330 range—those deliver solid 1080p performance too! For a budget under $300, consider the B580 (not optimized for all games but gives great performance and VRAM) or the RX 9060 XT 8GB, which is a fantastic deal for the price.
Yeah, the RX 9060 XT 16GB would be my top recommendation! I’m planning to pair it with an R5 7500F, and I've seen benchmarks that show it runs all games at max settings in 1080p flawlessly. You’re going to have a blast with story-driven games!
Either the 4060 or 5060 would pair nicely with that setup too. They work well for 1080p gaming!
Thanks for the advice!
It really depends on what else you have in your build, but I recommend the RX 9060 XT 8GB for great value. It's priced around $250 USD, and the 16GB version is about $370 USD. You might want to check for local prices, though!
For sure, the 9060 XT is a solid choice. You might want to go for the 16GB version if your budget allows.
That card is a bit pricey here; I’m seeing it for around $500! But I'm definitely considering it.
The RX 6700 or 6750 XT is another good option you might want to check out!

Thanks for all the tips and options!
