I'm building my first PC and I need some help with a few of the components. The list is a mix of things I have gotten and a few I plan to get. I've got the SSD (not the exact one listed but similar), motherboard, and RAM used so far. I'm planning on getting the Ryzen 5 5500 just for the cost but let me know if that should change. I'm completely lost for the GPU so I'm open to suggestions. I've been looking for some around $200 but don't really know what to look for besides VRAM. Same thing for the power supply. I've heard buying used is bad so I've been looking on Newegg. They have the ASRock Challenger in a few different versions. Its 650 bronze at $45, 750 bronze at $50, and 750 gold at $55. Is getting a better one worth it for future upgrades or is cheaper fine? Is this an ok model? Should I consider used or refurb? The end goal is to play games at 1080p for about $500-$600. I'm open to suggestions pretty much anywhere. Thanks
