Budget (including currency): 350 EUR (MAX 400)

Country: Ireland (IE) / United Kingdom (GB)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light gaming (Minecraft, Fortnite, Some indie games), Video Editing (CapCut), Entertainment (YouTube, Netflix, Discord, etc)

Other details: My current specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i3-12100F

GPU: AMD RX 580 8GB

RAM: 16GB Generic (2x 8GB)

MOBO: MSI H610M S2H DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700

PSU: Corsair CV550

 

My main monitor is 1080p 165Hz, would like to play games at this refresh rate (At least 144Hz). I'm just wondering what I should upgrade to make my computer better. I've had this since December of 2022 and the only issues I've had are with my Graphics Card which keeps crashing. Would appreciate any help or recommendations on what I should get 🙂

6750XT is around 400EUR, too bad 6700XT is moslty unavailable

If it's too expensive get a 6650XT, it's already twice as fast as a RX580

would this be the culprit, or is it more likely the GPU?:

It's not a great PSU but I had one working for years

RX580 requires a 450W PSU and it's more than that

Definitely gpu

Tierlist is too conservative so basically all those psus + some of the tier e are usable

 

As for the gpu look for a used 5700/6700(xt)

oh I guess it could be fine, since the quality's more about rail regulations being individual instead of broad to make it a C tier

yah or even 5700 XT but that would be like the fastest the PSU could handle approx

 

I missed the (xt) in brackets
