Hope anyone can give me an advice on this. I have picked up a brand new MSI Pro B760M-G DDR4 motherboard and 12th gen Intel Core i5 12400F fairly recently. Since I'm only gonna play GTA5 and some classic games on the setup I'll build, my brother suggested I go for either GTX 1660ti or AMD Radeon RX 590 for graphics. Should I go for either one or broaden my options for other graphics cards instead?

Storage-wise, I'm torn if I should go full-on SSDs on both boot drive and other stuff or have an HDD exclusively for other stuff but the boot drive will be an M.2 NVMe.

Your inputs are highly appreciated. linusPerfect lafr_Smile

Or a 6700xt

#

Something with some power

#

In terms of storage either are fine if you’re okay with waiting

Just go full ssd there fairly well priced now

#

or rx 5700 XT or 2060 used

Around PH₱20,000 (US $356 converted)

#

The motherboard was PH₱6,580 (US $117) and the i5 12400 was PH₱8,150 (US $145) if anyone's curious

ssd's and a 6700xt definitely, hdd only worth it for nas's and general storage rather than anything to do with OS or games

#

the hdd will be just for my files if i go that route

#

been longing to offload my stuff from both my androids

#

i've already added a 500gb m.2 nvme to my cart

kindred breach
#

well that 500gb makes an ideal boot drive

#

though which 500gb nvme did you pick?

#

grab the sn580 then

#

it would be the better buy in general there
