I'm currently using an NVidia GTX 1650 with 4GB of VRAM, but it's been bottlenecking during my gaming sessions. I'm looking to upgrade as I mostly game on titles like Escape from Tarkov, Call of Duty, and various fighting games. I'm based in the UK and my budget is around £200-£300, but I can stretch it a bit since my birthday is coming up. Here are my current specs:
- Motherboard: MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS (MS-7C75)
- CPU: Intel i5-10400f at 2.9GHz (6 Cores, 12 Threads)
- RAM: 32 GB @ 3200MHz DDR4
- SSD for OS and a few games, plus HDD for most games.
I have no specific brand loyalties, so I'm open to whatever provides the best performance for my budget!

If you're open to sticking with Nvidia, you should look into the RTX 5060 Ti or the 5070. They’re powerful and a good fit for your setup, but just keep in mind there might be a risk of CPU bottlenecking on some games, especially if you're pushing high settings.
You might want to save a little more for the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600 XT! It's a solid card that delivers great performance for both casual and competitive gaming. Definitely worth considering if you can swing the extra cash!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely think about it once I finalize my budget.
I appreciate the insight! I wasn’t sure if my CPU would be a limiting factor. Thanks for the heads-up!
