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.

The main reasons to go with Nvidia, in my opinion, are DLSS & Ray-tracing. If you aren’t going to use those features, or play games that use them, you’d probably be able to buy something better for less money from AMD. I’d google “Tom’s hardware GPU charts” and pick a comparable AMD card.
