Currently using a 960 4GB - it's not bad or anything, it's just showing its age a bit and I wouldn't mind an upgrade. A few cards I have found decent offers on are:
Radeon 6500 - $200
GTX 1070TI - $210 (used)
Radeon 6600 - $350
Please note that Radeon prices will also include variable shipping costs, so their cost is not really set in stone.
As for the uses of them, I'd primarily want something future-proof. I'm definitely not a person who minds gaming on low setting on everything (playing a lot of strategies), but would like to have something that would let me enjoy (not necessarily triple A) FPSes (like UT4, Apex or PUBG for example) with a stable performance, a solid few years into the future. An added bonus is some extra power to handle video editing, on which I'm planning on getting started in the future. Also, as I'm currently using a very regular Benq GW2270 1080p 60fps, a future upgrade to 144hz would be great, since I don't think there's many titles that would support 144hz on my good ol' 960 on decent settings.
As for the rest of the hardware, I'm running:
H510M S2H motherboard
i3-10100f (recently upgraded, got it with a mobo for $130)
one SATA SSD, one SATA 3.5' 7200rpm HDD
and finally, a 400W PSU.
As a final point I'd add that not having to buy a brand new PSU would be great, since, aside from more expenses, I don't really want an ultra power - hungry machine.
