ASRock Challenger D RX 6600 XT | 8GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,593MHz boost | $289.99$259.99 at Newegg (save $30)(opens in new tab)At its original price, the RX 6600 XT made absolutely no sense, but at $120 below MSRP it's a great budget GPU.

At this price, however, the RX 6600 XT is a strong choice for a 1080p GPU to stuff into a budget build, with good cooling and power efficiency.
We also like this graphics card over Intel's affordable A750 GPU(opens in new tab), which it beats at 1080p performance and sometimes even at 1440p.
AMD's FSR upscaling tech(opens in new tab) can give you a nice frame rate boost (sometimes 2.4x, according to AMD) on supported games, too. Like Nvidia's DLSS tech, it helps a lower-end GPU punch above its weight class.
