I've just purchased an i5 4590 CPU for $50 and I'm thrilled with how well it's handling games like the Dead Space series, which I really enjoy! However, I'm on the lookout for a good graphics card that won't break the bank. I want to get the best performance out of it but my budget is tight. Currently, I have 8 GB of RAM and I'm using a hard drive without a graphics card, plus I've got an old keyboard and mouse that aren't even USB! If anyone has recommendations for affordable GPUs and reliable places to buy them, especially for options like Temu, I'd love to hear your experiences.

Honestly, you're going to want to aim for an RX 580 or even a GTX 1660. You should be able to find these used for under $60. Just remember that prices can be quite high on local markets, which can be frustrating!
I'd suggest looking at the RX 580 or the GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory. They usually go for around $50-$60 and should work great for your setup, especially for 1080p gaming with titles like Dead Space. Miravia often has great deals on AMD cards, so check that out!
Are there any specific websites you recommend for those deals?
You might want to consider checking the used market more thoroughly. Sometimes, you can even find older GPUs for about $30 or less. Just keep an eye out on platforms accessible in your area, but I totally understand the shipping costs from eBay can be a hassle.
Interesting! Can you tell me more about where those cheaper finds might be?

I get that! I'm in Ecuador too, and I've noticed the same problem with inflated prices. Any suggestions for places to buy within Latin America?
