I'm looking for advice on the most powerful GPU I can pair with my Intel i7 4790. I have a 650-watt power supply and a 1080p monitor that runs at 100Hz. Any suggestions on what would work best? Thanks in advance!

A used GTX 1060 6GB could be a great pick for around $40-$60. It's a solid performer for 1080p gaming and should pair nicely with your CPU.
You could go for a RX 6600 or 5700 XT, but it really depends on what deals you can find in your area. Just make sure to check compatibility with your system first!
Yeah, but keep in mind that those cards can be pricier. Also, your build is running DDR3 RAM, which could bottle-neck performance.
Honestly, just go for the best GPU that fits your budget now and consider upgrading your CPU later. It might save you some hassle in the long run.
Definitely stick with the GTX 1060 6GB if you’re looking for something reliable and affordable. It’ll handle most games well at 1080p without breaking the bank.
The RX 6600 is another good option in terms of price-to-performance ratio. It's quite efficient and should work well with your setup.
You might also consider the RX 580 or RX 590—great alternatives that might be available for a good price.
