Good GPU to go with Ryzen 7 1700X?

cgplays · Oct 3, 2017

I currently use my first PC build which isn't very great, so I was thinking of making an upgrade. My current PC has a GTX 950 and an AMD FX 6300.

I am buying this:

I just don't know what GPU to buy. My budget is $500

What resolution are you playing? 4k, 2k or 1080p? What monitor do you have? RAM consideration?
