I'm building a new PC with a Ryzen 7 7700X and I'm looking for a budget-friendly GPU to pair with it. I'll have 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I want to keep the GPU cost around $350 to $400. Any recommendations?

Since you want to game at 1080p on a 144Hz monitor, the RX 9060 XT 16GB could be perfect for you. It’s worked really well for me, and it should handle most games with ease at that resolution.

Make sure to define your budget clearly. I suggest checking your resolution and refresh rate as it can really help refine your options!

For budget options, you might want to look at the RX 6600 XT or the RTX 2070 Super, usually around $150. If you're okay spending a bit more, the RX 9060 XT or the 5060 TI 16GB in the $350 to $430 range is solid too. If you stretch your budget to about $500, consider the 5070 or 9070.
BudgetHound77: Those are great picks! I also found a B580 for around $200 open box at MicroCenter, which is a steal.

Depending on what kind of games you’re playing, you should make sure the GPU fits your needs. I used a 7800 XT with my Ryzen setup on a 49" G9 monitor at 1440p. It’s been running great with high settings and solid FPS.
