Finally pulled a build together, but I'm still stuck on the GPU choice 😁 I'm going with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF (basically on par with a 2600), now I just need a card. I spotted a GTX 1660 for $500 but someone beat me to it. Any suggestions for a GPU under $567? (Keep in mind, I'm totally fine with used gear)

Buying a used GPU is usually the smartest move here.
Yeah, putting the thing together is the easy part.
Got any specific builds in mind?
Hey everyone, I’m looking to pick up a new PC after being out of the loop for a long while. Since I haven't been keeping up with the hardware scene lately, I'm a bit lost on current pricing and what actually makes a good build these days.
The machine will be primarily for gaming, though I'll use it for general tasks too.
My absolute limit is $1333. I'm totally open to used components if they offer better performance for the money—as long as they come with at least a few months of warranty.
I wouldn't mind a pre-built used system within this budget either, provided it still has some remaining warranty left on it.
+ I also need a monitor for up to $333, ideally a 24" model.
Here is my baseline:
I don't need more than a 240GB SSD.
A 1TB HDD should be plenty.
I’d like at least 6GB of VRAM.
Minimum 8GB of RAM, though more would be better.
