Hi!

I'm planning to buy a graphics card this year. I mainly want to play Horizon Zero Dawn (preferably high settings 720p).

What would you recommend?

Current System:
Ryzen 5 3400G
GSkills Trident Z Neo 16 gb 3200MHz RAM
Kingston 256Gb SATA SSD
Gigabyte B450 motherboard
Corsair 450W power supply (if this needs to be upgraded too, kindly advice)
Monitor is only 720p 60Hz

Planning to add GPU.

Thank you!
 
Solution
What is your budget?
March is supposed to be the launch of the new intel graphics cards.
If that time frame suits you, wait and see what is offered.
If there is good availability, the current graphics price mark up situation may well get diffused.

Your psu may preclude a very strong upgrade.
Here is a handy chart:

Your 450w psu may be able to handle a GTX1660 class card.
