I've been using a GTX 1650 for the past two years, and it's starting to feel a bit outdated. I'm considering a new GPU, specifically from NVIDIA, and my budget is around 200-300 euros. My current setup includes an Intel i5-10400F at 2.90GHz, 16GB of RAM, and I'm currently using a 60Hz monitor, which I plan to replace in the next year or two. Any recommendations?

For your budget, I'd suggest looking at the ARCB580 with 12GB or the RX 9060XT with 8GB. Just a heads up: while the 8GB models are decent, spending a bit more for a 16GB version can really pay off in terms of future-proofing. It’s worth discussing with your parents if that’s an option for you!
First off, you should check how much your power supply can handle. If you're limited to GPUs under 75W like the 1650, the upgrade options are pretty slim. But since you mentioned you have an ATX-500 that can handle 500W, you have a lot more flexibility! You could consider the RX 9060XT; just be prepared that taxes and shipping might push your total cost over your budget.
The RX 9060XT 8GB is a solid choice! Just make sure to check benchmarks to see how it performs in the games you play.
Also, the RTX 5060 is another viable option within your budget. However, keep in mind that the RX 9060XT 16GB usually offers better performance for a little extra cash, so it might be worth considering despite needing the parental approval.
Absolutely! The performance difference is noticeable, so try to make a case for it to your parents.
Yeah, the 16GB will definitely give you a better experience in newer games!
