GPU suggestions

I have an Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS AM4 motherboard. For reference, the link to the motherboard is below. What GPU do you suggest?

  • If I can help it, I want to spend less than $325
  • Something that was manufactured within 2019 to 2020

I found an RX 580 that newegg says it was first made available in September of 2020? But another article that I read said that the RX 580 was four to five years old?

Please help me find a GPU! Thank you

Edit: I was looking at the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Overclocked 6GB Edition but it’s hard to come by and goes out of stock fast which also increases the price to double of what’s being asked for.

Wait for regular RTX 3060 launch. I think it will be around $300-350.

Wait for the Radeon RX 6700 release this month. It’ll be one of the fastest cards you can buy for WoW. Should be in the $300 range.

Evga website had 3060ti in stock the other day. As you see sites get them in stock but they sell out fast.

There’s ppl using twitch/YouTube to scan the sites and alerts you when there’s stock. I’ve seen them in stock but they sell out fast usually.

Thank you for the helpful responses! One more question please.

Is the Asus TUF 5600 XT a good card? From what I have read online, this card is 1 year old which is fine with me. I know you guys said there are newer ones coming out… but is this a good card too?

It’s a very good card and can handle WoW at level 10 settings 1440p 60hz with a modern CPU. The issue is cost as a one year old card I would expect a discount on the MSRP (most 5600xt were around $300) not a premium to the price.

The biggest thing is not even most 5000 series cards are in stock and when they are you see these overpriced tags
