Used GPU help!

Hello

I already made some topics about which GPU I should get but the market gets worse all the time. At first I wanted to buy something like a RX 570 but those aren't in stock for a reasonable price where I live. I decided to get a used card for less then 50€ so I can play games until new cards are back in stock for reasonable prices. I don't need much performance since I only play less demanding games but a GPU upgrade is really needed. So what are good used GPUs for 20€, 30€, 40€ and 50€.

 

Note: Don't say something like: "Just spend the additional money and get this CPU!" I don't want to do that. I want to get something that can do a decent job on older/less demanding games. I don't want to run games like Rise of the Tomb Raider. Even something like a GTX 560TI would probably do the job in my case.

 

My system has a R5 1600 which doesn't have an integrated GPU. So the GPU I'm currently using is a 9300GT I borrowed from a friend  so I have an image on my screen and I don't wanted to wait for a mid range GPU to be back in stock. I already got lots of performance out of my new PC because I do some CPU intensive stuff but gaming isn't really a thing unless I want to play at 800x600. xD 

 

I have a 1080p 60Hz monitor.

Why not? It is like equivalent to 950 i think
