Graphics Card Choice

[TheCubeHamster]

Hello,

 

So I have already bought the following parts for my Gaming rig:

Ryzen 5 2400G

EVGA Supernova 650W

ASUS Prime B350M-A

Corsair Vengeance 1x8GB

128GB SSD

2TB HDD

... The case is irrelevant for now. All you need to know is it can fit a GPU up to 1 foot long.

I was wondering if any of you have a good recommendation for a graphics card that would pair well with the Ryzen (I know I bought one with integrated graphics).

I use my PC for video editing, some medium gaming (Fortnite, WarThunder, The WarGaming stuff like world of tanks, and World of warships). I also do some 3D modeling for 3D printers, but none of it is very hard.

Personally, I want the build to look good, modern, and subtle. So, that means nothing that looks too gamer-y. I was thinking of a GTX 1060 FE, but most people I talked to said "It would run too hot and impede performance".

Also, NO ASUS Turbo cards, please.

What are your thoughts?

A refrence 980ti can be considred

Sure, but $400 for used?

I don't think I mentioned it, but I would preferably be able to choose a gpu for under $400 or so.

I'm currently running a 1080p 60Hz monitor, but I am thinking about upgrading to a 1440p.

GTX 1060 is a great 1080p gpu and decent 1440p at lower settings.

GPU prices of current stocks will most likely fall when next-gen Nvidia gpus release and AMD gpu pricing will adjust to stay competitive in the next few months.  Watch for sales and you may be able to pick up a discounted 1070ti/1080/1080ti  and RX580 8GB. good luck
