I'm looking for some help in choosing a new GPU, preferably one with over 6GB of VRAM. Right now, I'm using an MSI 1650 that I bought about 5 months ago. Here are my PC specs: CPU - i7-10700F, 16GB of Kingston RAM (it's not the best), and my motherboard is an ASUS B460M-PLUS. I want to know where I should upgrade my PC and what options you might recommend for a new graphics card!

Make sure to check your power supply as well! Knowing your budget helps—$200 to $500 gives you some decent options too!
What’s your budget? If you can swing it, I'd recommend looking at a 9060XT with 16GB of VRAM or a 5060Ti with the same amount. They’re solid choices in that range!
My budget is around $200 to $500.
Since you asked about upgrades, if you're currently using one stick of RAM, consider getting another identical stick to enable dual-channel performance. Also, keep an eye out for used GPUs like the RTX 2070 Super if you can find one—it's a great deal! Just remember, modern GPUs can get bottlenecked by the i7 and that slower DDR4 RAM.
Buying a used one sounds like a good idea since it's cheaper, right?
I can't remember the exact specs of my power supply.
