I'm putting together a budget PC that can run games like Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, and Baldur's Gate 3. I've salvaged quite a bit from old PCs and have the following components:
- A big Antec case with 6 fans
- A Samsung 840 EVO SSD as my main drive
- A CD/DVD burner/player
- A CX 600 PSU
- A Ryzen 5 5500 CPU with a Wraith Cooler
- A GIGABYTE B550M K motherboard
- A G.Skill TridentZ Neo 16GB DDR4 RAM kit
Now, I'm trying to figure out which graphics card to look for within a reasonable price range. Any suggestions?

If you're on a budget, I'd recommend looking at the NVIDIA RTX 2070 or 3070. They pair nicely with your build and offer solid performance for the games you mentioned.

Thanks! Just wondering, would higher models like the 5050 or 5070 work with this setup, or would I risk bottlenecking my performance?
