I put my budget for a GPU around $350 if necessary. I just don't want to unnecessarily buy a card that is overkill for my new setup. MSI x470 Gaming M7 AC Mobo Ryzen 5 2600 16G DDR4 3000Mhz 650w Corsair PSU HP 25x 144Hz 1ms 1080p 24" FreeSync Monitor - not necessarily married to get an AMD...

I know this sounds crazy but I'm ready to upgrade my system to either a AMD Ryzen 5 or an Intel 5 system and want to use my GTX 680 for now but will upgrade in a year or so. I currently have an AMD FX 4100 with a recently acquired NVIDIA GTX 680. I only play the Assassins Creed series and...
