gpus in a 1000 dollar build

[matanwidlansky]

i got a question how much off my 1000 dollar budget should i spend on a gpu? (when the market goes back to normal)

Between 300 and 400, a 3060 should be a pretty good option for that price range when you can actually buy one.

For a gaming system, $300-500. Most games are so GPU-bound these days that it's going to be the most important part of your build.

If you have a freesync monitor and don’t play AAA titles then an RX580 or 570 would be great. I have one in a build for a similar budget a few years back. Including all parts and peripherals I wasn’t much over your budget.

 

Also don’t be lured into the trap that gamers must have an upper tier CPU. In Intel terms an i5 is the sweetspot but so many buy an i7k when they don’t need to just because of bad advice!

 

My modest rig powers hours and hours of happy 1080p med-high settings on the games I play (non-AAA).
