Hey! I currently have a normal GTX 760. I'm thinking of upgrading. I have a B350-M Pro VDH motherboard, 8gb of ram and a Pentium Gold G5400. What GPU should I pair with it? Preferably below $300

Edit: Sorry I meant B-360 M

The rx 570 sounds good

Double Edit: I want to be able to play games like Portal 2 @ 60fps and/or PUBG

how did you manage to get an Intel CPU working in an AMD socket (AM4) board in the first place?

 

assuming you just typed in the wrong board model, the RX 570 is your best bet. Faster GPUs will be heavily bottlenecked by the CPU and nowhere near as good value.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

 

Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync

i think even an rx 570 will still get bottlenecked by the cpu, i just recently upgrade my cpu from a pentium g2030 and upgrade my gpu to a 1050TI and wow most games are even unable to start cause of the cpu.

i would suggest an rx 560 if you aren't considering upgrading the cpu,

BUT

if you want to upgrade your cpu (and mother board + ram pressumably), yeah i would agree with rx 570 to upgrade

if ur light gamer, u can just go w/ the standard 1050 

Slower cards than the RX 570 are just bad value. Not good considering the CPU can still be upgraded to a 6 core part (G5400 is Coffee Lake) eventually (don't trust 8 core running without throttling)
