Hey everyone! I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to PC upgrades and I'm looking to upgrade my son's graphics card for his 3-year-old gaming PC for his birthday. He's been running into performance issues and can't play many of the newer games, so I'm hoping that a graphics card upgrade will improve his gaming experience.
I'd love your advice on a compatible graphics card that fits within my budget. I'm a single mom on a tight budget and would prefer to keep the upgrade under $350, but I can stretch it to $500 if absolutely necessary.
Here's a bit about our current build:
- Case: Lian Li Lancool 215 RGB BLK
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi AM4
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (Wraith Stealth Cooler)
- Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB 2X D4 3200 C16
- Hard Drives: Western Digital WD Blue SN570 500GB NVME SSD & Samsung 870 EVO 500GB 2.5 SATA SSD
- Current GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6400
- Power Supply: Thermaltake BX1 550W 80+ Bronze ATX PSU
- Operating System: Microsoft OEM Windows 10 PRO 64bit
If you have suggestions for any other simple upgrades that wouldn't cost a fortune, I'm open to that too! Thanks so much for your help!

Honestly, your budget is key here. The good news is that many of your parts are still solid, so focusing just on the GPU is a great idea. Based on your budget and needs, I would recommend the AMD RX 9060 XT with 16GB, it's priced around $349 and should perform really well for gaming!
