GPU to fit Ryzen 5 1600

[NorthLake]

So I built a pc, been using it for nearly a year now. Back then I bought the GPU second hand for €50 ($57). But unfortunately it's seen its best times. I'm getting some weird graphical glitches in any program that uses the GPU (games, YouTube, etc.). So (only just now) I thought: maybe it's a good idea to buy a GPU on Cyber Monday (I know, thinking ahead isn't my strongest ability). I did just buy a screen with FreeSync to fit the Club 3D Radeon HD 7870 that I currently have.

Since I don't actually know anything about AMD GPU's, my question is: What's a good GPU to fit a Ryzen 5 1600 running at 3.2 GHz that supports FreeSync?

Any RX-series Radeon GPU. Without knowing your budget, we can't recommend much.

Wouldn't it be a bit overkill for 1080p@75 gaming, though?

Here's my complete setup:

To run games at 1080p @75Hz this is all you really need if you're willing to tune down some settings in the most demanding titles: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/MsWfrH/xfx-radeon-rx-580-8gb-gts-xxx-ed-video-card-rx-580p8dfd6

Does it actually matter which manufacturer you get it from?

I'm asking because Newegg has a bunch of rx 580's on sale, except for the xfx one...

Honestly if you're still looking into it then pretty much any name brand manufacturer is fine. There are some rx580 deals for $160 us right now from people like asrock and at that price I think it's worth getting that gpu rather than stepping down to an rx 570 which used to be my recommendation. If you can somehow find an rx 590 for under $200 then that may be worth a look but if you can find those cheap 580s then those are more worth it. If you want maximum graphics settings then a cheaper vega 56 could be worth it too.
