Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to PC gaming, thanks to my boyfriend who got me a new rig. Our current setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor, 32GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card. I've been told that I need to upgrade my graphics card, especially since I'm getting into more demanding games like Call of Duty on top of playing Fortnite. I'm aiming for dual streaming too, but I'm not sure which graphics card would give me the best performance without breaking the bank. I'd like to stick with AMD due to budget considerations, but I'm open to suggestions. Also, do I need to upgrade my RAM to 16GB for gaming? Any advice on my overall build would be appreciated, I'm just starting out! Thanks in advance!

For gaming and streaming, you really can't go wrong with an Nvidia GPU, especially because of its excellent NVENC encoding capability. If you're looking for a great balance between price and performance, the 5070 Ti is currently a solid choice that handles both single PC streaming and games well. Just keep in mind that it can get pricey, but the performance is worth it if you're streaming at 1440p or aiming for low latency.
Honestly, you don’t need an AIO cooler for your 7600X; a good air cooler would do the job just fine. If you want the best graphics performance, consider the RX 9070XT which is around $700. It has great power for both gaming and streaming. But if you prioritize stream quality, stick with something like the 5070, which offers nice features and decent performance, though it does come at a higher price point.
Thanks for the tip! Any air coolers you’d recommend?
