I'm looking to upgrade my PC with a GPU that pairs well with my AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G. Right now, I have 16GB of RAM but no dedicated GPU. I'm considering the RX480/580 8GB GPU because it's within my budget. Speaking of budgets, I can spend about 9,000 pesos, which is around 130 USD. I've noticed that the RX480/580 usually costs between 5,000 and 8,000 pesos here in the Philippines, making it quite a reasonable option. My power supply is 600W. Can anyone suggest a good GPU that would work well with my CPU and stay within budget?

To help narrow down your options, it's important to know your budget! Since you've mentioned 9,000 pesos, that's a decent starting point. The RX480/580 should definitely be a good fit for your CPU in terms of performance without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind to also check for sales or second-hand options to get the best deal!
Knowing your intended use is key! Are you mainly gaming or doing other work on your PC? If gaming, what kinds of games do you play? If you're looking for something like No Man's Sky at medium settings, the RX480/580 should work just fine! Just make sure to look for benchmarks online to see how well it performs with your CPU before making a purchase.
I'm mostly into casual gaming like No Man's Sky. I usually keep settings low and often play at lower resolutions to get smoother performance. So I'm really hoping to just bump that up a bit with a new GPU!
