Are you looking to upgrade something? Did you just build this computer and you have not gotten all the parts yet? What exactly are you doing?

 

If you rlly want an upgrade an ssd would be worth the money.

Can you save up more? The difference in performance per dollar increased in price is inversely proportional to total cost. Meaning at your budget, a 20% price increase could afford you 2x the performance. Where at higher budgets a 20% price increase gets you a 15% performance uplift. 
A 50$ card will not be able to play Apex easily.

That is if you are asking for a GPU recommendation.

How much RAM do you have?

What gpu are you getting? that would be the factor that would actually allow you to game.

for 46$ I would just save some more money and get something bigger down the road.

It's a very weak GPU..  can't you save a bit more to get at least a Rx570, I see some around $60?

if the $46 is for other upgrades, and $44 was for the GPU, why not combine it and get something faster? You can get rx 570s for $70-$90

the 46 is the overall budget for now, i got everything on this pc for free, and im not working so its whatever i can fine.
