RX 580 if new, 1070 if used

Building off your system will be hard to have a massive gpu jump and with the price of gpus now even if you wanted to get a 1070 or RX 580 it will be hard (impossible) with your €200  ($230) budget. I recommend getting a 1050 or 1050 ti. You can get a brand new Asus 1050ti Strix for around  $225 (€198) on Newegg which should suit your needs as well as provide a good upgrade to build your rig around. If you need any other advice on other parts to buy just ask. I love helping the community.

@Ethan Schoonbee What Ethan said was right.it's hard to find a good one GPU as you mention budget.you should get gtx 1050 ti 4gb model.that was mid-range gaming.

I would rather recommend getting GTX 970 or 980, its waaaay more powerful than 1050Ti,and prices are similar, of course used.

1050 is lower than budget and not a good value. If you want to be in the 150 dollar price range, the RX 570 is a way better value.

Why, for the love of everything holy and unholy, would anyone recommend 1050/1050 Ti over RX 570?

1050 Ti for €198 is extremely bad value when you can get this:

That's a very good point! Though apon looking at newegg it is extremely hard to find an affordable 980 at the same price as a new 1050ti. The 970 and 980 are very popular cards and it may be benifitial to to go with a underrated and equally as powerful card like the 1050ti. This Is obviously just my opinion and one would have to buy to there preferences as well as the fluctuations in the gpu market.

If you do t want an Nvidia card I highly recommend a RX 570. Extremely powerful and at a decent price. bang for buck baby.

970,and especially 980 will crush the 1050 Ti in every single way. Price wise 970 is cheaper than new 1050 Ti,if one is comfortable with used cards and in worst case, 980 costs the same,and will still run everything 1080p/60 at high/ultra settings, which 1050 Ti wont. Its a good card for what it is, but absolutely worst price to performance. Only got mine because of the SFF needs, otherwise, hell no.. Only difference would be possible PSU upgrade if one doesnt have a decent one, but still, worth it imo.

Used gtx970 may be cheaper, but what about warranty? I'd rather get an RX570 4GB which may be competitively priced against the GTX970 but should have a decent period of warranty left since it's a newer card. Besides, the RX570 is a fair bit faster than the GTX970 (also, let's not forget 3.5GB faster VRAM, 0.5 slower VRAM)

Yeah, like i said, if he is comfortable with used hardware, there are other options, of course,and i would not call it quite a bit faster.. 

[GamerDude]

About 10% faster IIRC, that's a fair bit faster.....if it were 20% or more faster, I'd have said 'a good bit faster'.

Idk, maybe im wrong, in the benchmarks i saw they were trading blows within 2-3 fps, or 970 being faster, only in Hitman RX570 beats 970 with quite a margin.

I usually base my opinion on guru3d's review, so called reviews on YT are not trustworthy and may skew reviews in favor of one or the other. Below is one on the RX 570 Nitro (usually a couple of fps or so faster than regular RX 570).

It is indeed faster on those charts. I watched couple of benchmark videos, and they performed very similarly.

Go with 1050ti it was quite enough to handle 90% of AAA title at good FPS
