My cpu cooler has been acting up lately and isn't cooling well and I've been looking for a new one.

Hi everyone, So after buying a VR headset I’ve realised I need a big upgrade on my old R9 390. So far the RTX 2060 looks like a really nice option but I was just wondering if there were any alternatives that aren’t RTX enabled that would be cheaper with the same power? My line of logic is that...
