I’m looking to purchase a new PC and am having trouble finding a GPU that matches these needs:
- Works well with Ryzen 5 7600X
- Supports smooth gaming of RDR2, GTA V, and Doom The Dark Ages at high settings in 1080p
- Available for $350 or less
- Cannot be used as a part
Here are some suggestions, but
additional requirements:
- More than 8GB VRAM
- Can run GTA V on Ultra
- Handles upcoming PC releases
- Compatible with emulation of older consoles (like PS3)

RX 9060 XT with 16GB will launch on June 5th at a starting price of $350. All other models with 12-16GB are priced above $400 currently, except the Intel B580, though its value for emulation remains uncertain. This model is expected to perform similarly to the 5060 TI, with Ray Tracing still lacking appeal for another GPU generation. The B580 should match the performance of the RTX 4060 or RX 7600 XT.

I think I’d consider waiting for the 9060xt. I had a 5060ti 16gb and returned it and got a 9070xt instead. The 5060ti 16gb isn’t bad for 1440p even.
It’s a little over your budget but if you could find one of those for $429 it’s worth it. However if the 9060xt 16gb does come in at $350 and you can get your hands on one, grab it.
I’m assuming you’re in the USA? If so, do you have a Microcenter near you? If so that’s probably going to be your best bet for getting a card. Also they do have good combo deals with the 7600x.
