Try getting an rx 570, you can probably find it used or at microcenter for around 100 dollars

Micro center is quite a good distance from me(4 1/2 hours) and its $200 at that one. GPU market price is a little inflated atm. around $150 used online.

I changed the NVME drive. The SX8200 Pro will perform about the same as the 970 but for cheaper, both are TLC NAND with DRAM cache.

I switched the CPU to the i3 10100 since it's about the same price, you might as well get the integrated GPU version.

I switched the PSU to the Corsair CX, which is both better and cheaper.

Now you have about $150 for that used GPU.
