My birthday is coming up, and I want to treat myself to a GPU that can handle games like Helldivers 2 and maybe Fortnite occasionally. I'm hoping to find something in the $100-$175 range. If you have any suggestions, can you also let me know what motherboard would pair well with it?

The RX 6600 is the way to go for what you're looking for! It should handle both Helldivers 2 and Fortnite nicely. As for motherboards, that really depends on your setup. If you're using an AM4 CPU, you can get a B550. For AM5, go for a B650. If you’re on Intel, stick to what’s compatible, but I'd suggest avoiding older models.
Just a heads-up about that $100-$175 budget you mentioned... 😂
It really depends on where you are, but you might find a used RTX 2080 for around €180 if you're in Germany. If you're looking for a new card, consider the Intel ARC 750 or the RX 6600; both should be solid options!
The 5700XT is great for running Helldivers 2 and Fortnite at 1080p without any issues. If you're on a budget, I’d recommend going with an AM4 CPU and a B550 motherboard. It'll give you good performance for those games.
Hey, maybe just keep that kind of feedback to yourself? Sometimes it's better to stay positive!
