Budget is kind of important. Would be pointless to suggest $1000 gpu, if you can spend only $40.
Also usage type of system - why do you need discrete gpu? Ubuntu system probably is not meant for gaming. Right?
Thank you for the response. Budget is kind of open at the moment. I do a lot of data analytics and a little gaming. However gaming is not a priority. The issue is I cannot update the operating system until I upgrade the graphics card. Suggestions? Thanks again!

Ideally. The older Corsair CXs (which you have since it's a 600), weren't particularly good. Not bad on the "fry your PC" level, but rather mediocre. If I'm investing significant amounts of cash into a new GPU, I'd take the opportunity when you can get a top-tier PSU at this price.
Thank you for your reply and information. I will look into this option. Thanks again.
