Me and my wallet need help with my GPU chouse (first build)

Posted by GafferByChoice@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 6 comments

I am swapping from a gaming laptop to my first custom build on desktop. I don't have a crazy budget and prices in my country are steep.

I have a Ryzen 5 9600X

32gb ddr5 ram

1tb nvme

MSI B650M wifi mobo

The thing is choosing a GPU.

So here are my options at hand after researching options in my market

GPU XFX Radeon RX9060 XT Swift Dual 16Gb - 650/680 USD

Intel Arc B580 12Gb DDR6 - 445 USD

MSI GeForce RTX 5050 Shadow 2X OC 8GB - 415 USD

XFX Speedster QICK308 Radeon RX 7600 8GB - 399 USD

The thing is I really want this PC to not worry me for updates for at least a couple years. But do not want to bottleneck my CPU too hard with the GPU and most important I do not want my wallet to take a hit. Also i am fine with running only 1080p I do not care that much about 1440p at the moment.

Need help, am i focusing on the wrong thing? would that RX7600 be not that bad? Is intel arc even worth considering? is the 5050 really that bad as they say?

If it adds anything, Iplay competitive games (league, valorant, cs, marvel rivals), Elden Ring/Sekiro, NBA 2K, Hogwarts legacy
