I'm looking for the cheapest graphics card that would work well with an i5-14500 processor. Gaming isn't a priority for me—I'm not a gamer. I just need the graphics card to function well with the processor for regular tasks. I plan to use a resolution of 1920x1200. What's the minimum graphics card I need?

Don't forget to check the used market! Cards like the RX 570 or GTX 1060 can be great options without breaking the bank, especially if you don’t mind going for something second-hand.
If you’re looking for price points, you might find cards around £100-150 like the RX 6600 or RTX 2060 Super. For a tighter budget, options like the GTX 1660 Ti or RX 580 are also available under £60!
Actually, the i5-14500 has integrated graphics, so if you're not gaming, you can simply connect your monitor to the motherboard's HDMI port. It should work fine for normal tasks! If you do decide to game down the line, the Intel Arc B580 is a solid budget option to consider.
In some places, the cheapest new GPU available is the GT 710, but I'd suggest looking for something a bit more powerful if your tasks require it!
If you're set on getting a dedicated GPU, I recommend checking out something like the RX 6600 or RTX 3060. If gaming isn’t a focus, you could also go for the RTX 3050 or GTX 1660. They should suit 1920x1200 resolution just fine.
