I do have a Ryzen 7 2700 paired with GT220 which still works even if the fan isn't spinning anymore. What would be the recommended GPU upgrade for my rig? I rarely game, maybe once a month playing NBA2k. What I do mostly is programming in Visual Studio and sometimes watch youtube movies.

I have my eyes on GT730 but I've heard that even an Intel integrated GPU will beat it out of the water. By the way, I'm planning to use the GPU for as about 6-8 years maybe, together with this Ryzen 7 I have.

By the way, my PSU is a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650watt

Regards

could check ebay for used video cards too. good prices on used cards on ebay.
you won't need much. idk if amd has an integrated graphics on that cpu or mobo but if it does, could use that too

I don't want to spend that much. What about the RX 560 for $115. I guess its performance is about the same with the 1050ti which cost about $200 here.

But this just supports 2 monitors. I keep my option open for adding a third monitor in the future.
