Depending on the games you play and the monitor rez you have, that aging 2nd gen CPU should work well with an RX-5500 xt or GTX 1650 Super. Should give you a 50% graphics boost over your present card with little to no CPU bottleneck. Especially if you OC the CPU.

Personally, I'd even step up to the RX 5600 XT or GTX 2060 because I don't worry about bottleneck. I like the eye candy when AAA games offer it.
