Hey everyone! I'm a bit lost when it comes to graphics cards and I could use some help. I'm looking to build a PC mainly for playing the latest AAA games with good graphics and frame rates, but I also enjoy strategy and indie games. I've come across a few budget-friendly options that have been recommended to me: the RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RX 9060 XT, and Intel Arc B570. Can anyone explain in simple terms which one would be best for my needs, along with their pros and cons? Thanks a lot!

What resolution are you planning to play at? If you're aiming for cheaper options, that might influence your choice.
For gaming, I would recommend going for AMD cards like the RX 9060 XT. They offer similar performance to NVIDIA but at a lower cost. Just remember, the resolution and frame rate you want to play at are key factors to consider.
Wow, thanks! This really helps clear things up for me. I'm glad to get some straightforward advice on graphics cards!
You'll want at least 12GB of VRAM if you're buying a GPU over $300. That makes the 4060 and 5060 pretty much off the table. The 16GB RX 9060 XT is significantly faster than the Intel Arc B570, so only consider that if it's much cheaper.
Definitely go for the 9060 XT if you can! It offers solid performance and value.
The RX 9060 XT is currently the best value card on the market. It can handle pretty much any game comfortably at both 1080p and 1440p, making it a great choice for your gaming needs.
Awesome, thanks for the info!
Just make sure you're looking at the 16GB version for the best performance!
1080p would be perfect for me!
