I'm currently looking to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 3910 by adding a graphics card. The specs are an Intel Core i5-12400 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 500 watt power supply. I'm hoping to spend around $100 to $125 and was considering the GTX 1660 or RTX 2060. Are there any better options I should consider in that price range?

You might want to save up an additional $25, since the RX 5700 is a significantly better option that often falls just outside your budget. It's definitely worth it for the performance boost! Check out sites that compare card prices to find the best deals within your range.
The RX 5700 XT is another fantastic choice and will outperform both the GTX 1660 and RTX 2060. It's similar in performance to the RTX 2070, so it's a solid upgrade if you can find it for around your budget.

Sometimes you can snag a 5700 XT for about $125 on a good day. In fact, I saw a listing for one at $105 plus shipping! Just a heads up, while the 2060 6GB isn’t terrible, its VRAM can be a limiting factor, especially for more demanding games. Still, it’s decent for the price if you're sticking to around $120.
