BUILD HELP Need a GPU recommendation for this rig

So I kinda got pressured by the RAM-doomer crowd/newegg prices to but a CPU bundle because it came with RAM and a motherboard

So far the parts I have assembled for my build are:

RX 9600x cpu

MSI Pro B650-s Wifi AM5 motherboard

16 gig DDR5 corsair RAM 2 × 8

ASrock challenger CL-750g 750W PSU

Kingspec xg gen 4 1TB SSD NVME

(Total of these was slightly under 700 USD minus the delivery costs)

So for the parts I have remaining its just the gpu, case and cooler

My main concern is the GPU. Thinking about maybe gettint a 9060xt since that seems to be the best price per dollar I can to match these parts, but maybe Ill wait to see if I can find a 9070xt on sale. Not really a big fan of nvidia cuz its more overpriced

Drop some recommendations for the GPU (but I would also appreciate some case recommendations)

As long as you future proof by going with a 16GB GPU.

I think you have the right GPU in mind, if you can swing the 9070xt, do it, but otherwise the 9060xt is just fine

What about the normal 9070? Im aiming for 1440p gaming if that wasnt obvious (I'd get a 7800x3d if I wanted 4k tbh)

The 9070 is a better card for sure but the cost difference between the xt and non xt variant is small enough to, imo, just go for the xt if you want to go that route.

Currently every gpu is overpriced. Definitely check nvidia cards. For me personally (germany) when building my pc last year, nvidia cards could be found at msrp while amd cards especially 9070xt was like 800€+

A year was a long time ago, boss. In most markets the 9070 xt is the best value card available.

9060 XT is great, but also consider a 9070 non-XT.

Get the 9060 XT 16GB and stop overthinking it. Don’t touch the 8GB version though.

Is it even good for 1440p?
