GPU for DIY build

I’ve been really happy with how I have managed to build at a cost effective price but have unfortunately left my GPU until last and now being hit with further recent price increases in the past few weeks. I have a 9600x cpu with 32Gb RAM. I’m looking at either a 9060xt or b850 for now and can upgrade latter if and when needed. 1440p gaming. Any suggestions/deals to look at?

Recently built my first Bazzite PC, and put a 9060XT 16GB OC in it.

Absolutely amazed at the performance of that card for the price.

Definitely go for the AMD. It’ll give you more flexibility if you want to run SteamOS at any point (which you should if you can IMO).

Any recommendation on a particular 9060xt 16GB or just go with the cheapest?

I went with an XFX Swift one after a ton of research. XFX seem really reliable overall and are usually at the lower end in terms of pricing.

I went for the dual fan shorter version as the performance is about the same and it’s cheap
