Hi all.

I am in a bit of a quandary regarding what GPU to buy for my rig as I would like to upgrade my current card. I have a 6600xt at the moment along with a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and 32 GB of RAM.

I was gaming with a 1080p monitor which the 6600xt handles like a beast, but would like to make the move to 1440p. This card doesn't seem like it would handle 1440p very well at higher settings so I think I will need a better GPU. I already have a monitor in mind but am a bit lost looking at the numerous options currently available in regards to GPUs.

I am also a bit concerned that a higher tier GPU may face a bottleneck due to my CPU as well. Would the 5600 be ok with the majority of the more powerful GPUs?

I can go to about £600 max budget but ideally a bit cheaper.

Some advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the recommendation. I will have a hunt around for a 6800, is that a new or used price?

Yes I feared the CPU might be an issue. I don't have the budget to upgrade my CPU at the moment it is something I will look at in the future.
 
Is there much difference between the 6800 and XT? I'm not sure the XT model can even be found now. I suppose there is the 7800xt but much more expensive.
