As mentioned above, a 2060 or 5600XT will be very solid upgrades. You won't get the full performance of either card with your CPU in most recent titles that are more CPU intensive, but you'll still notice a big improvement in performance nonetheless and you'll be fine until you also upgrade your CPU (though maybe go for 16GB of RAM as it's become the standard for gaming PCs and will be handy when you want to have web browsers, VoIPs, etc. open beside your game; the CPU upgrade will really help with that too).

Hello,

 

atm I have: i5 6500, 8gb ram, asus 750ti 4gb strix oc edion and im playing on an old 1080p 60hz monitor. I'm thinking of buying an now 2060 rtx but I don't want a lot of bottleneck. I mainly play mhw: iceborn and modern warfare and can't take anymore the low graphics. In about 6 months i'm planning to go for a 144hz monitor, ryzen 5 3600, 8gb ram. So I'd like to know what kind of gpu should I buy now or just should wait 6 months and update the whole rig all together?
