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!
I got a 770 for a budget system and it's fine, I think both it and the b580 may be a bit out of budget in the UK. My 770 is paired with a beefier CPU, though, and there are people out there making a bit of a stink about the Intel cards being sensitive to CPU bottlenecks, so in this price range and to pair with a 3600 AMD may be the way to go. With an extra hundred bucks or two I'd definitely look into Intel, maybe with a CPU upgrade to go along with it.
