Hello LTT

 

I have just planned my new Ryzen build, just wanted some recommendations on a graphics card to add to the project.

This will be for a moderately priced system, which will be used for a single 144hz 1080p display

 

This is what I have ordered so far:

 

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU

16GB (2x8GB) Adata XPG Spectrix D60G 3000MHz DDR4 RAM 

Novatech 500W PSU 80 Plus Rated

 

Wanted to spend no more than £250, so I was planning on getting a GTX 1660ti, just wanted to hear what other peoples recommendations would be before I pull the trigger!

 

I will mostly be playing Rainbow Six Siege, Star Citizen and the new Microsoft Flight Simulator when that launches.

 

Thanks ?

get the most expensive gpu you can afford.

you may find a 2060 on a super lucky sale at that price.

1660 ti is a good option, 1660 super is also an option, about the same peformance for a little less

Get the Ryzen 5 3600x instead, only if it's the same price, if not just get the ryzen 7 2700x

For the GPU get this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti/dp/B07N824KNV/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=GTX+1660+ti&qid=1577584081&refinements=p_36%3A-28000&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-1
