I'm looking to upgrade my PC, which has an Intel i3 10100 CPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a B460H motherboard. Currently, I'm limited by my power supply (250W) and a small case that might not fit a new GPU. I'm not sure about my motherboard's PCI Express slot, but I believe it's PCIe 3.0 x16. I have a budget of up to €500 for the whole upgrade. I'm mostly looking for better FPS for gaming. Any suggestions for a good graphics card or other upgrades I should consider first? Thanks!

It sounds like you're ready for a nice upgrade! Since you're in Germany and have a budget of €500, it could be a good idea to consider graphics cards like the GTX 1660 Super or the RX 6600. Both should give you a solid boost in performance without breaking the bank. Also, definitely think about upgrading your power supply to at least 550W to handle the new GPU reliably. If you're looking to improve your CPU later, the i5-11600K is a decent choice, too. Just check your cooling system to ensure it can handle the upgrades!
And don’t forget to check if your case can fit the new graphics card! Size can sometimes be an issue.
If you're really tight on cash, keep an eye on used parts! You can often find good deals on GPUs that will fit your budget and make a big difference in performance.
