Build AdviceLooking for advice on budget GPU for build im looking at
I had to sell my previous setup a few months back just to pay some bills. Now I have roughly $1000 to put together something decent until I can really spend more.
Here’s what I’ve managed so far using Microcenter:

The CPU isn’t showing up for me—it’s an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D at 4.1 GHz with 6 cores.
What GPUs do you think I should consider on Amazon or maybe look for used ones? I had a 9060 in my cart, but after taxes it cost me $182, leaving no room for much else.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
I mainly focus on FPS and MMOs, but I might try a few triple-A titles and co-op games with my girlfriend.
What resolution or refresh rate are you considering?
Are you receiving the processor bundled? I'm checking because it isn't shown in your PCPP listing with a price.
In my opinion, this build works just fine without losing performance;

Two SSDs: the smaller one for the operating system, the bigger one for your game collection.
I recommend saving a bit more before buying something more powerful.
My two cents.
