The PC4GAMER approach
The right GPU, not the most expensive
The best upgrade is the one that matches your screen, your games, your case and your power supply. Sometimes it's better to change the power supply, add storage or rethink the cooling before an extreme card.
The PC4GAMER example configurations show several profiles: understated base upgrade, RX 9070 XT, high-end RTX, RGB, quiet. We start from what you need, not from an imposed basket.
