I'm looking for recommendations on the best graphics card to pair with my Ryzen 5 9600X. My budget is around $300, and I'm particularly interested in what deals might be available this Black Friday. Any suggestions?

If you can, try using a 7500F or 7600 series CPU to give yourself a bit more room for the GPU budget. However, don’t feel like you have to drop the 9600X just for an upgrade; it can still handle a lot.
The RX 9060 XT 16GB is a fantastic choice, even if it’s a bit more than your budget. It tends to perform really well for that price range, especially on sale during Black Friday.

I’m new to DAWs, so I’d like some assurance that the 9600X can handle my needs without issues. I know I will enjoy some gaming too, so I want to ensure I’m not compromising too much.
