Looking for recommendations on upgrading my video card to play Red Dead Redemption 2 and other modern titles at ultra settings with 60 FPS, primarily at 1080p. My current setup includes:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F
  • Motherboard: MSI B460M PRO-VDH WIFI
  • Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200
  • GPU: (Currently upgrading)
  • Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD, Kingston A400 480GB SSD, Seagate 1TB HDD
  • PSU: EVGA 500 B1 500W 80+ Bronze
  • Monitor Setup: 3x 1080p monitors (planning to upgrade to a 32-inch 4K monitor in the future).
My budget is $400-$500, and I live near a Micro Center, so I’m open to local deals if there are any solid options there. I want a GPU that can handle 1080p ultra settings with ease and have some headroom for the future 4K monitor to run games at 60 FPS at medium-high settings.

Key concerns:
  1. Can my current 500W PSU handle mid-range GPUs like the RTX 3060 Ti, RX 6700 XT, or RTX 4060?
  2. Are there any GPUs in this price range that perform well at 1080p ultra now but are also somewhat futureproof for 4K?
I’m open to both NVIDIA and AMD options and would appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!
