GTX 780, GTX 770 and GTX 760. They are outdated a long time ago and are not supported by the latest drivers. Therefore new games will not work with them at all. The same goes for the Radeon R9 200 series.
At the same time, despite extreme budget deficits, young Nvidia Maxwells can still be purchased. This GTX 750, X950Ti, 960Ti. The GTX 970 is also decent, if cheaper, than the Radeon RX 470.
Do not buy in any case due to the risk of dumping GTX 980/Tianalogues Radeon 9 300 series.
GTX 1070 and 1080/Ti also go about a kilometer. They are not even suitable for daily tasks.
GTX 1060 and below If found at a good price, it is suitable for Dota 2, World of Tanks.
Radeon RX Vega HBM is best avoided as it wastes memory.
Radeon RX 400 and 500 series It will be a good choice for an affordable gaming computer. But only if you buy them cheaply.
RTX 2000 series only 2060/Super or 2070. Also quite normal options – GTX 1660 Super, 1660 and 1650. Avoid Asus’ single-fan versions and Gigabyte’s Windforce series.
Radeon VII Ignore due to HBM memory, but RX 5700/XT – due to mining and the possibility of GPU failure.
RX 5600XT And 5500XT – good candidates. From RTX 3050 8GB and 3060 You can get everything except Palit Dual and StormX.
RTX3070 You can buy it with a good cooling system, but preferably in expensive versions.
RTX 3070 Ti Even if it’s a little more expensive than the non-Ti version, it’s worth a look. It also requires a high-quality cooling system.
It is not recommended to buy now RTX 3080 and Ti, RTX 3090 and Ti. It only makes sense to consider for an adequate price RTX3090. In other cases it will be better RTX 4070 Ti or Super.
RX 6400, 6500 XT, RX 6600 XT, 6650 XT can be purchased. Moreover RX 6800 and XT good for games. At the same time RX 6900 XT and 6950 XT quality is questionable.
Frankly among unsuccessful video cards RTX 4000 series And RX 7000 series NO. But it is better to avoid versions with insufficient cooling.
Ryzen 5 3500X and RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A580 It is suitable for ultra-budget buildings.
Ryzen 5 5600 and Radeon RX 6600, 6500 XT or Intel Arc A750. Low-end Intel processors worth choosing from i5−12 400. They are suitable for Full HD and medium graphics settings with acceptable FPS.

The most suitable option Ryzen 5 7500F processor and RX 6800 graphics card. It would also be an adequate replacement. RX 7700XT 12GB.
Latest configuration for QHD includes the same 7500F and RX 7800 XT or RX 7900 GR.
It’s better to take it just for 4K Ryzen 7700 or 7700X. From video cards – RX 7900XT.
A workstation for QHD should include: Core i5−13 600 and RTX 4070 Ti Super.
If you can spend $1800 on a gaming PC, take a closer look Ryzen 7 7700X or 7600X3D and RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Ryzen 9 9800X3D and RTX 4080 Super – superstructure. For those who like good performance in 4K at an affordable price RX 7900XTX. With the maximum budget you can afford Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 4090.
