I have a Lenovo Legion Tower 5 with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, which I bought in 2021. I'm looking to upgrade the GPU but I know very little about PC parts. If you have any suggestions for a GPU that can run most games on medium to high settings for the next 3-4 years, I'd appreciate it! My current setup plays Marvel Rivals on low settings at around 70-100 FPS. Also, if you think there's something else in my build that needs upgrading, feel free to mention that too. My budget is around $1000 for both the GPU and a new PSU if needed. Thanks for the help!

How much are you aiming to spend, and what kind of performance are you looking for? If you want to run most games on medium or higher for the next few years, you should really consider the Nvidia RTX 4060 or the AMD RX 7600. But, with your 400W PSU, those might be at the edge of what you can handle. Might be worth checking how much you want to invest overall.
Honestly, I’d boost that PSU to an 850W model—go for brands like Corsair or EVGA since they’re super reliable. After that, grab either a 6700XT or 6800XT. This combo will really enhance your gaming experience! Since you got a prebuilt, you could consider taking it to a place like Microcenter or Geek Squad for the swap.
How do the 6700XT perform in general? I mostly know about Nvidia, so it's all a bit confusing.
I’m aiming for about $1000 total for both GPU and PSU. I just want to be able to play newer games well for a few years.
