Hey everyone! I'm not super tech-savvy, but I'm planning to treat myself to a graphics card upgrade for my birthday. My brother built my PC 8 years ago, and he'll help me with the install. I'm hoping to run the latest games at least on Low to Medium settings.
Here are my specs:
- GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K / 4.20GHz
- Motherboard: Msi Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
- PSU: Corsair CX550 / 550W
- RAM: 32 GB
- PCIe: 3.0
I have a few requirements:
- My monitor goes up to 1080p / 75Hz, so I want to find a graphics card that fits this, but I might upgrade to 1440p in the future (no 4K for now).
- I mainly want to play Monster Hunter Wilds and aim for around 60 FPS on current games.
- My budget is between 300 to 350€ but can stretch to 400€ if it means getting something that will last for a few years.
Thanks for taking the time to help, and have a great day!

Hey! I'd suggest looking into the RX 6700 XT. It has plenty of VRAM for future upgrades and should perform well with your setup. If you prefer Nvidia, the RTX 3060 is also a solid choice—slightly less powerful in some scenarios but still very capable. Just double-check that your case can fit these cards!
If you can stretch your budget a bit, I'd recommend keeping an eye on the RTX 3060 12GB or the RX 6600 8GB. They’re both solid options within your price range. You should also look into the RX 7600 XT if you find it at a good price!
Good point about the size! Also, just a heads up, you might experience some CPU bottlenecking with a higher-end GPU. It’s something to consider.
