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!
