What’s the best GPU for i5‑12600K build on a 15 k–20 k PHP budget for gaming/light editing?
Hey I’m hoping to get some advice. The specs of my current build:
- CPU: Intel Core i5‑12600K
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF B660M‑PLUS WIFI D4
- RAM: 16 GB (2×8 GB DDR4 3200)
- PSU : 750w gold FM
- Storage: NVMe SSD + extra SSD
- Case: white — but I might switch to a black case soon
What I’ll use the system for: gaming and light video/photo editing
Budget for GPU: around **₱15,000–₱20,000**
Given that budget and use case, I’m looking for the *best GPU I can get without overpaying* — preferably something that runs modern games well at 1080p, and handles light editing smoothly.
Would you recommend going for something new around that price range, or should I consider used GPUs?
If going new, which GPUs would you pick?
Thanks in advance 🙏
