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.

      Can we just talk about how great PCPartPicker is? I built my first machine with their help almost ten years ago and my build plan is still there, which was incredibly useful when it came time to upgrade. I could copy the plan and swap out components and it all still just worked.

      They don’t charge for anything, they don’t block adblockers, they don’t constantly make changes trying to increase engagement, they’re not trying to sell components. They just take some referral fees and keep a very useful site running.
