AMD's Ryzen 3 3300X isn't a high-end CPU, yet comes equipped with four cores and eight threads. That's plenty of performance for gaming, so long as you pick a viable GPU. Whether you want to game at 1440p or 4K, we've rounded up some excellent GPUs for you to choose from.
Choosing the right GPU
Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Deciding on a GPU should come down to the resolution you plan on gaming at. You should also consider your monitor. There's little point buying a 2080 Ti for a 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of just 60Hz unless you plan on getting a new one. There's also the factor of display sync technology. Those with AMD FreeSync displays will need an AMD GPU to truly enjoy stutter-free gaming, while NVIDIA display owners will require an NVIDIA GPU.
If you plan to play games at 1440p or 4K at a later date, you will need to get something like the XFX AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT RAW II or EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra Gaming. These two GPUs will let you game at either resolution, though the 2080 Ti is vastly more expensive and powerful.
It's possible to save money without sacrificing performance too much with our mid-tier suggestions. Going with either the XFX AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT RAW II PRO or ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER will allow you to enjoy your favorite titles at 1440p. They're affordable and they won't cause any issues when paired up with an AMD Ryzen 3 3300X. If you're looking for more options, be sure to have a look at our picks for overall best graphics card.
