Mad Cow's Build a Killer Gaming Rig on a Budget Thread (1 Viewer)

[BigJohn]

Trying to upgrade son's rig to play current games.

Here's the current build:

ASUS TUF B450M - Motherboard
ADATA 256 MB 2133 MHz SSD - OS Drive
WD 1TB 7200 rpm HDD - Storage Drive
G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR4 16 Gb 3600 - RAM
AMD Ryzen 5 6 Core 12 Thread - CPU
Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 560 4GB - Graphics Card

Now, I know enough about PC's to put a decent rig together, but where I lack knowledge is the GFX card. This is obviously a bottom tier card. I recently upgraded the RAM and CPU, so I'm pretty sure the GFX card is the biggest bottleneck at this point. Based on the motherboard, is there something I can target in the $300 range that can handle current-gen games at decent settings?

TIA.

Probably not decent settings for 1440+, but for 1080p gaming possibly. Probably target the Radeon RX 7600 XT or the RX 6600. No idea on motherboard and processor compatibility, didn't have a chance to look at that.

So, watching a couple videos, reading some stuff I've narrowed it down to the 7600 XT and 6700 XT. Sounds like the 6700 XT is a bigger beast but getting phased out. I threw a bid on a used one for about 50-60 bucks less that the 7600 XT new. We'll see where that goes. Appreciate the feedback.

ETA, I'm only going for 1080p-level settings. Higher-end monitor will be down the road.
