I just bought an Intel i5 4590 CPU for $50 and I'm enjoying the games I've loaded on it, particularly the Dead Space series. However, I want to upgrade my graphics card to maximize my gaming experience without breaking the bank. Currently, I have 8 GB of RAM and a hard drive, but no graphics card at all. I'm looking for affordable GPU options that work well with my setup. If anyone has suggestions for where to buy them, especially reliable sites like 'temu,' I would really appreciate it!

For your setup and budget, I'd suggest looking at either the RX 580 8GB or the GTX 1060 6GB. You can typically find these used for about $50 to $60, and they should handle 1080p gaming quite nicely. Plus, Dead Space will look great on them! Keep an eye on Miravia too; they sometimes have solid deals on AMD cards.
Honestly, you might have overpaid for that CPU. There are better options out there. If you dig around, you might even find an RX 580 or GTX 1660 for $30 or less, especially if you look near industrial areas or recycling centers where they throw out old tech.
I'd really like to know what locations you’re talking about since I can’t find anything remotely close to those prices.
I think going with an RX 580 or a GTX 1660 is a solid choice; both can usually be found cheap, sometimes even under $30 if you're lucky. Just a heads up, make sure to check local shops as well to find better deals than the inflated online prices.
That's great to know! Just curious, where are these cards so cheap? I might want to check that area out.
I'm in Ecuador, and I've noticed that prices for cards are way inflated on Marketplace, often higher than what I paid for my CPU. I’m cautious about Temu as well—do you know of any good local options?
