I'm hoping to buy my first graphics card for my PC that has an i3 8100f, 8GB of RAM, and a B360M D3H GAMING HD GIGABYTE motherboard. I know my setup isn't the best, but I'm looking for recommendations on a suitable graphics card that would work well with my system.

Before making a decision, it would be helpful to know your budget. But remember, even if your CPU isn't the latest, it won't 'die' if you choose a slightly stronger graphics card. Just make sure you consider adding more RAM if you can!
You might want to look at cards like the 3060 12GB or the 6600/6650 XT. However, upgrading your RAM to at least 16GB should be a priority, too!
I’d suggest considering an AMD RX 6600 or, if you want something a bit newer, an RX 7600. Both would work great with your setup! If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, you could also find a second-hand AMD RX 570 Nitro for cheap. Just keep in mind that upgrading your RAM to at least 16GB would really help your performance.
If you're sticking with your current setup and not planning to upgrade anything else soon, grab a used GTX 1660 Ti or 2060 for around $75. You'll see a nice improvement for the price!
With your current build, I'd recommend not spending over $100 on a graphics card. Even low-cost options can boost your gaming experience, especially at 1080p low settings.
