So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.
I’m looking at getting the following, but I’m stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)
PC specs that I have landed on.
- AMD 7800X3D
- 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
- Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
- Noctua 140mm CPU cooler
I am carrying over the following from my old PC
- Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
- SSD storage
- EVGA 850w gold PSU
I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I’m looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.
PCPartPicker is very useful, especially for browsing compatible parts and cost comparing.
A number of good build guides are also available. But as with everything, trust but verify.
My lateat PC was designed with everything except the GPU, which I awaited until I found a good cheap second-hand card. As soon as I got the card, I verified the design and ordered everything.
I would look at the Radeon 6700 XT if you only plan on gaming. Despite being a last gen GPU, it outperforms the 4060 for around the same price. The 6700 XT is more comparable to the 4060 Ti. And it also includes Starfield if that is a game you are interested in. Here is a good ranking from Tom’s Hardware showing how most GPUs compare to each other.
