So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.

I'm looking at getting the following, but I'm stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)

PC specs that I have landed on.

AMD 7800X3D
32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
Noctua 140mm CPU cooler

I am carrying over the following from my old PC

Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
SSD storage
EVGA 850w gold PSU

I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I'm looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.

Can we just talk about how great PCPartPicker is? I built my first machine with their help almost ten years ago and my build plan is still there, which was incredibly useful when it came time to upgrade. I could copy the plan and swap out components and it all still just worked.

They don't charge for anything, they don't block adblockers, they don't constantly make changes trying to increase engagement, they're not trying to sell components. They just take some referral fees and keep a very useful site running.

I love PC part picker, I have my past builds all saved on there with photos.

It's a fantastic tool.
