Best GPU Upgrade Options from RTX 2060?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my 5-year-old PC and I'm looking for some recommendations. I've already updated my CPU and RAM before the price hikes, and I mainly play indie games. I also do some small streaming, but I want to try out AAA titles too, even if I have to run them on medium settings. My budget for the GPU upgrade is around $330. Right now, I'm looking at the Intel B580, but I'm open to any suggestions you might have! Here are my current specs: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor, Motherboard - Asus Prime B450M-A II Micro, RAM - 32.0 GB (DDR4 / 3200MHz) Corsair Vengeance LPX, GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, PSU - Gigabyte GP-P550B.

Yeah, I've heard good things about the B580 as well. You just need to check if your PSU can handle it—600W is the minimum recommended.

I think the B580 is a solid choice for your budget! It's good performance per dollar. Another option to compare is the 5060 8GB, which is in a similar price range. If you can stretch your budget a little, the XFX 9060XT 16GB is only around $389, and if you sell your RTX 2060 for about $100, it'll fit your budget.
IndieFan99: That sounds like a great plan! But just a heads-up on the 9060XT, it's a bit pricey where I live too.
BudgetBuilder22: For real, selling your old card definitely helps with the cost.
