Hello,
I’m looking to upgrade the GPU in my current build to better handle 1440p gaming at 60fps for titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Helldivers 2. Here’s my current setup:
- Motherboard: Asus PRIME B350M-A Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
- CPU: Ryzen 3600
- GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 580
- Storage: NVMe Drive
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) DDR4-2666 CL15 Memory
- OS: Windows 10
- Power Supply: Corsair CX450M (2015) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

The RX 580 has served me well, but it’s struggling with newer games, especially at 1440p. I’m aiming for stable 60fps at medium-high settings.
I’m not looking for ultra settings but want something that will be a significant upgrade while keeping my CPU as the limiting factor to a minimum. My budget is pretty limited and I’d like to keep it around £200 or less, new or preowned.
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences in terms of the best budget GPUs! Cheers in advance!
For about 180€ I’m seeing used cards like the RX6700XT with 12Gigs, That would hold up for a while. Stay away from ARC, there are some performance issues with older cpus.
Keeping in mind a card like this would require a PSU upgrade too. Minimum of 600W, but check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the brand of the card since some vary.
This is the way. The 6700 XT is really powerful for the price, and no one wants it becauae it’s not an nvidia.
Ah yeah, I saw some mention of that on Hardware Unboxed, thank you!
