Budget (including currency): £300 (GBP). Don't need to worry about Tax.

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Cities Skylines 2, Minecraft, Apex Legends. 

Existing Parts:

- Ryzen 3 3100 (OC to 4.4GHz)

- GTX 960 2GB

- MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi

- Thermaltake Versa H18 PC Case

- 3200MT/s CL16 16GB RAM

 

Resolution: 1080p@120Hz/144Hz

 

- I prefer NVIDIA GPUs but AMD is ok. Definitely not Intel. 

- I use one monitor.

- No peripherals.

- Upgrading because GPU is very slow and VRAM is an issue.

If you can stretch your budget (or wait and save up some more) a 6650 xt could deliver more performance
