i am the guy with the 3300X from a few threads ago. as you can see, my motherboard ain't that good, it uses pcie 3. someone suggested me to search for a newer generation of GPUs, and I found some listings for an RX 5500 XT and RX 6500 XT, both 4 gigabytes of VRAM but that doesn't really bother me. As for Nvidia, a GTX 1650 and a GTX 1070.

My reason for not buying an RX 580 is that it consumes quite a lot, and the GTX 10xx line-up doesn't have driver support anymore, but I can't tell how bad that really is, so I'm considering the 1070.

Now, between the 5500 and 6500, which one is better on pcie 3.0? I did my research and saw that the RX 5500 XT has works on pcie 4.0 with 8 lanes, the other only with 4. As for the 1070, it has a lower wattage than the RX 580 and I found it in benchmarks to be better. But with the loss of driver support, I don't know how it's going to perform.

my use for the PC is going to be light gaming, nothing triple A. mostly casual games like terraria, minecraft, CS2, GTA 4/5 and some indie and esport titles, maybe streaming on discord. i'm on a tight budget because Romania's memecurrency is going to shit by the week, but i at least want to have a decent upgrade path and I think that i did the right decision to go with AM4. all these gpu go for 50$ to 100$, with the cheapest being RX 580, some 8 some 4 gigs.
