I'm doing my first scratch build in a couple of paychecks and I need help picking a graphics card. I don't need anything really nice rn, just enough to run most games medium-high settings, 1080p, 60ish fps. I'll upgrade later.
Here's the setup as it stands: big psu and all the cooling is for upgrades/overclocks in the future

Remember to get filters and anti-vibration fan mounts!
For graphics card, get the best you can afford and get your hands on. I recommend at least a GTX 1050ti (about equivalent to a RX 460/560)
1050 or RX 560
unrelated but since I've realised I don't gayme triple A games I realised that I should ditch my 390x housefire and so I was looking at stuff like the 1050 or 560.

No need to create an entire thread bout it.

With that motherboard I assume you don't want to overclock too much, so the 212 EVO is useless. The stock cooler is not some Intel shit, it's really good. Buy a better ssd instead, and/or higher frequency ram (it's important for Ryzen cpus).
As for the gpu, the 1050, rx 560 and 1050 ti in this order are all fine. Maybe a used r9 380 would cost you less.

Keep cpu
If you are tight on budget drop down to 8gb of ram
Get the 560 if you want to play dota, lol, csgo and the like.
Will NOT be sufficient for bf1 or cod ww2.
For that at least a 970/480/570/1060

Dont look for a card rn. Miners ruined prices. Wait a couple months, prices will go down, and get yourself an rx 570 or 580

Wait for Navi
