What GPU should I use?

DashLB

I made a parts list but can't decide on a GPU. Please critique my build so far and help me find a good budget ranged GPU to complete it.

Probably like a max budget of $300. This pc is mainly for my adobe photoshop and illustrator class but I would also like to do some gaming. I just want to be able to run 1080p games at medium to low settings with frame rates over 120. Is that possible for my budget?

You don't need that beefy of a cooler for the 3600, also zen 3 is being announced in a few days. For the wifi card, $66 is a lot to spend on it. You can get a decent card for way less. A good graphics card around $300 would probably be the rtx 3060, depending if you can wait until November or December for it to be released.

And try this https://amzn.to/3d5Ihm6 for the wireless adaptor it's 300 mbps but it is only 20 bucks

That one is only 2.4 GHz and also doesn't even support wifi AC. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016K0896K?tag=techlounge0f-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 this one is $35 but has ac1300 and has 5 GHz.
