I'm working with a budget of about $500 for a GPU since I've set a limit of around $1,200 for my entire build (excluding RAM). I initially wanted to get the XFX 9060 XT (16GB), which used to be priced between $350 and $470, but now it's nearly $600 everywhere due to recent price hikes. I'm wondering if I can find something with similar or better performance for less. Also, I'm curious about buying used RAM—I've seen prices go up, and I'm hesitant about spending $550 for 32GB when I used to find it for around $90-95 in Poland a few months ago.

With a $1,200 budget, it makes sense to look for a 12GB VRAM GPU, but if you can, try to find one with 16GB for better performance. Don't skimp on vital components like the PSU!
12GB VRAM is definitely my minimum, but I’d ideally want 16GB. I’ve already picked out the other components aside from the GPU and RAM, so I just need a solid GPU for the remaining budget. I’m considering the RM750x 80+ Gold PSU.
