Welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. My thinking was if by going with Palit or Zotac I can get stretch my budget to include a 4080 (if going AM5) or 4090 if going (Z790 or B660 + 13600K) etc, then it would be worth it, providing these basic cards would prove reliable. I just don’t know their reputation as I’m unfamiliar with the brands, since this will be my first gaming PC.

Which CPU did you go for?

That’s a great idea!
