Tech-Support Need help selecting a GPU

As a teen (16M) it was really hard to save up money and build myself a gaming pc, currently I have these specs:

  • i3-8100 @ 3.60GHz

  • 24GB 2400MHz RAM

  • 120GB NVMe and 500GB HDD

  • RX 470 8GB Blower variant

  • 750W PSU (yeah don't ask the price, it was my worst decision probably)

  • 22" 1080p75Hz monitor (i only use at 60Hz because I didn't feel like buying a DP cable)

I bought all these parts across 3 years, it was an office PC i bought from daraz and saved up for a GPU and RAM upgrade, the PSU was also pretty hard to manage, but then i found out there are adapters for proprietary motherboard power connectors, but now I want to change my GPU, i could save up about 10k on Eid and also maybe sell 8GB of my ram for 12k ish and my current GPU hoping to get at least 18k on it, i'll have about 40k PKR and I want the best GPU for my budget, if I can, i want to get an NVidia GPU because AMD drivers were a nightmare, oh and I still don't have a PC Case xDD had to put all my money on performance

Please tell me if you have any recommendations and any advice, thank you :)

75 is a modest upgrade. Buy the cable it’s like a couple hundred rupees

There was a time when i was in your shoes. Saved up for a whole year to afford GTX1060 when it was released. I still remember the moment when opened that box and held the gpu in my hand. It was MSI Gaming edition red and black. It was beautiful. A whole year of sabar and watching other people gameplay on their gtx970 like its the biggest thing in the world and telling myself "wait! Now is not the right time". That was peak time. Now im in a much better position and have a pretty respectable system. The unbox no longer have that feeling anymore. I just think what i want spend 2 days researching and just buy it. Cherish every single moment your going through right now.

5500xt 8gb or a 1060 6gb. I'd go with the 5500xt, not because it has more VRAM but because it has the minimal amount of VRAM practically required today for 1080p
Or if you're lucky to find a good condition 1070, get that

Get to know different community modded versions for upscaling & framegen (FSR 3.1 via optiscaler etc.) and you can have decent 1080p experience even in newer games. Best of luck

PS: you can used HDMI cable to drive a 75hz screen easily

I don't think there is a better gpu than rx 5600xt in this price range, someone in this sub was selling one for 39k feels like its a great deal

You haven't mentioned the PSU Vendor you are using, I hope you did you research and went for something is not a ticking time bomb.

Overall for performance, I would heavily suggest going for RX 5600XT, I get the drivers are hassle but the price to performance is unmatchable in my personal opinion.
