Question GPU for Computer Science & Casual Gaming

[pap3rmario]

Hello everyone,

Recently, I build a PC as I am studying Computer Science. I will be using this PC for programming, ethical hacking, and virtual machines. However, I do plan to use it for casual gaming and I am looking into the RTX 4070 Super but it's a little expensive for me. Would there be another GPU option for my needs that would be more budget friendly? If so, which GPU would you recommend?

Here are my PC specifications:

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor
MB: MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
M: Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
NVME: WD_BLACK SN770 2TB
GPU: N/A
PS: MSI MPG A1000G PCIE 5 80 Plus Gold 1000W

Tons of options but depends on your gaming needs. Also look for AMD cards, usually cheaper for similar performance, Rx 7800xt for instance,
Also may want to wait for next gen GPUs with AI acceleration as that will also help with your work.
