Question 1080p gaming gpu

[agusrui]

Hi, I´m currently running my PC with a Ryzen 3 2200g on a Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H, 8gb 2400mHz Corsair Vengeance LPX, and no GPU other than the iGPU in the processor. I´d like to play some GTA V or similar games at, at least, 1080p and 60fps. What GPU should I buy? I´m traveling in a few weeks to the US and I have a $ 200-250 budget. My PSU is a 500w Sentey (which I´m changing for a 520w Seasonic) Thanks in advance

Rx 580 is an excellent value right now.

There's a rx580 8gb by msi for $159 right now. The 570s are $119 with 4 gigs memory.

The 580 is a bit overkill for your system. But if you swap out your CPU in the future and add memory your gpu will still be cruising right along without a need to upgrade it at 1080p

GTA 5 is more CPU heavy I believe.

would the 580 be bottlenecked by my ryzen? maybe in a few months i can swap it with a ryzen 5 2600

Yes the CPU will be holding it back a little. But I don't think it would be detrimental. Four actual cores at 3.7GHz isn't a slouch. You should hit 3.7 all core without issue as you aren't using the iGPU side.
