I'm currently using an i7-7700 CPU with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 graphics card. I'm looking to upgrade my GPU but I'm not sure which one offers the best value for my budget of around $200. I mostly play casual games and don't really get into the latest AAA titles, and I game about 5 hours a week. Can anyone recommend some good options for me? Thanks!

You might want to consider the RTX 2060 Super if you can find it at a decent price. It's definitely stronger than the RTX 3050 and should give you a noticeable performance boost even today. It's a solid choice for casual gamers!
If you're savvy with eBay, you might snag a 6700 XT for about $200. Most go for around $220, but it's a great card for the price. Just make sure you have the right power connectors — the NVIDIA 3060 12GB is similar in price but the 6700 XT generally outperforms it. Just keep in mind that the 3060 has a lot of variants, so watch out for the connector types there too.
Thanks for the tip! Are there really that many different types of power connectors? I figured they were all standard. I'm also leaning towards sticking with NVIDIA for my next card.
