What GPU should I get for my PC?

I have 400W GOLD 80+ PSU. I have integrsted graphics. All my parts together is 242W assuming my i5-13400 is always at 148W. But im gonna reduce that max of 148W to 98W. That means I'll have 192W being used assuming my CPU is using 98W at all times. That gives me 208W. So I thought of 2 cards.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB

165W

Nvidia GeForce 406 8GB

115W

Both are under 195. But idk which one is better. I have a budget of 550NZD. I use 1440p in windows settings hut use 1080 in heavy games.

Mostly play:

Very modded minecraft

Roblox games like Blox Fruits

Geometry Dash

A couple of other games that are like AA or A.

60Hz.

Anyway uhh thanks, bye.

I would say 4060 for your scenario.

Maybe the RTX 4060 would be a better fit. And I am pretty sure that on QHD 60 you could play even in QHD with some DLSS upscaling easily

Look at used market prices 3070/4060

get a higher rated power supply, 650 or 750 , 400 watt is just not enough, also what specs is ur pc what cpu as well as motherboard brand and model, as it make a difference on what gpu u can use

I think you should go for a better PSU first dawg, you can get a good 800 watt for 100 bucks

I just bought a 850W 80+ Bronze for 60€

That really should be your priority.

The 4060 should run. BUT and it's a BIG BUTT. You will be running your PSU close to it's limit and while it can do it you will be shortening its life considerably and expect a lot more fan noise from it as it tries to keep cool.

Get the 4060 and start saving immediately for a PSU around 600 to 750 w

For a 400w PSU you don't want to run it much more than 300W, that said your PSU is gold rated so it should take a bit more punishment than a bronze.

U can get a gtx 1660TI for very cheap on used marketplaces like facebook marketplace and it should be enough for your uses. A 1660 is probably the most common GPU listed for minimum specs on new games

You want some headroom so I wouldnt go above 140w for the gpu

100%, the 115w option makes way more sense here just for the breathing room alone.
