I just built my first PC but need a GPU to complete it without breaking the bank. I'm not a fan of AAA multiplayer games and prefer single-player indie titles, though some of the more graphically demanding ones have been lagging on my current setup. I'm aiming for a budget around $200 USD and am open to buying used. Here's my parts list for reference:
- Motherboard: Asrock a620am-hvs
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x
- RAM: Patriot Viper Elite 5 16GB DDR5
- Storage: Silicon Power 1TB SSD
- Power Supply: Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+
Any suggestions for a good GPU that won't cause compatibility issues?

You can find some great budget options if you look for used GPUs. An RX 6600 or 6600 XT can be around $170 on eBay, or you might find a used 3060 Ti for about $180. If you want something slightly older, a used 2080 should also fit your budget well.
Since you're okay with buying used, you should just get the best GPU you can find within your price range. Just keep in mind that new GPUs are probably out of your budget, but used ones could give you a solid performance without spending too much.
So, what's your absolute budget limit? Are you looking for higher performance in specific games? Any GPU will fit in terms of connection, but knowing your price limit helps narrow things down.
Since your power supply is only 500W, I'd recommend upgrading to at least a 750W if you can swing it. This gives you more room to choose a powerful GPU. What resolution are you planning to game at?
