[Cwmanofdenim]

I need help replacing my MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card. I would like to update my 2014 computer build to extend its use and continue to game for a bit longer, but without exceeding the cost of a brand new build . (My wife and I currently saving for a beastly build for her, but my old build is getting a bit creaky.) I realize I can only update my old rig so much , so I am looking the most bang for my buck while we save for bigger builds.

Anything you want. With that psu there's no restrictions at all on size of the gpu. The only 2 restrictions are budget and monitor.

Budget: well that's kinda obvious. But plan on $700 or higher, even for a used gpu.

Monitor: if all you have or plan to have is a 1080p 60Hz, you won't need anything more than a 2070Super/3060/5600xt/5700 to get the most out of almost every game. Even works well if using a 144Hz monitor since the cpu will be the limiting factor there.

If 1440p same if 60Hz, but start looking towards 2080Super or 3060ti/3070/5700xt class cards if 144Hz.

For 1440p 144hz or 4k, 3080/6800xt or better.

Won't my motherboard 3.0 PCI Express restrict my graphics card choices?

No.

Cards are still not overrunning the PCI 3.0 x 16.

What kind of storage are you using?

I asked because ditching any regularly used spinning drive is a real improvement.
