Hey guys im new to this forum stuff and pretty new to the pc world.

8 months ago i bought myself an r7 240 4gb ddr3 (I know know it was a mistake) !

Now I would like to upgrade to something that can run stuff that isnt csgo. I live in Italy all the pc components are pretty expensive and I dont make much money because I go to high school I work as a babysitter every now and then.

U have got like 250€ , 280$ as a budget, for the american folks.

I would be looking for something that can run games on high settings at 60fps.

p.s rx 480 4gb  cheapest price : 254€ like 285$

rx 480 8gb cheapest price: 280€   314$

rx 470 cheapest price:230€  260$  292$

gtx 1060 3gb cheapest price: 204€  230$

gtx 1060 6gb cheapest price: 255€  268$

1050 cheapest price: 118€  132$

1050 ti cheapest price: 146€   163$

gtx 970 cheapest price: 199€   186$

I appreciate every form of help that you guys can help me thx.

Which CPU are you pairing it with? Also try to see if you can find RX 580s and 570s.

How about looking for second hand? 980Ti's can definitely be found for around 250 euros, and they're around the same mark as a GTX 1070. 

CURRENT: intel i9-10900K ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero ROG Strix RTX 3090 32GB 3600MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RM1000i Lian Li O11-Dynamic

take a look at what the RX 500 series cards cost if you can, out of those options get an RX 470 if thats a hard roof budget, if you can go a bit beyond get the 4GB 480

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Rx 470, 570, 480 and 580s are all in very short supply due to cryptocurrency miners. Look for a GTX 1060. You'll be able to run games with mostly ultra setting.

 

Anyone recommending current AMD cards is silly.

Amazon also has used products listed. Check that out if shipping fees are not too high

 

GTX 970s are still capable, especially when overclocked. If you can't find a 980ti within budget then a 970 is the way to go

Okay went around pcpartpicker and here is what I found:

 

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/sF648d/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-8gb-nitro-video-card-11265-01

 

And if you want to save up a bit:

 

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/bxM323/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-4gb-pulse-video-card-11266-04-20g

 

If you want used get a used GPU look for 980Tis and Furys. 

 

Which corsair 500W PSU do you have? CX? VS?
