I'm looking to upgrade my setup so I can play games like Ready or Not and Modern Warfare. I have an Intel i5 12400 processor and a 450-watt power supply. What are some good budget-friendly GPU options that won't consume too much power?

It really depends on the quality of your power supply. If you have a reputable brand like a Seasonic Focus Gold, you could go for something like a 5060 Ti. Just make sure your PSU is high-quality.
Your i5 12400 has a long duration power limit of 65 watts and can hit 117 watts briefly. A GPU under 250 watts should be fine with your 450 watt PSU, assuming it's a good quality one.
The RTX 4060 or RTX 5050 would be great choices for a low-capacity PSU like yours.
You should definitely check out the RTX 3050 or 4060; both are suitable for your setup. They offer decent performance without overwhelming your PSU.
Consider the RX 6600, 6600M, or 6600 XT. I've seen them priced between $125 and $150 recently.
I suggest going for a 50 or 60 class GPU, but be cautious with the 60 class since your PSU is on the lower end.
