Other details
Here is a parts list of the current system: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/W9gczP
2 monitors, both 1080p at 60hz
Just recently wiped the system and with a fresh install of Windows 11. Case, RAM and storage were bought only last month. Planning to upgrade the GPU in the next month or so.
My dad who uses it plays games such as Battlefront 2, Arkham Knight/Origins and is looking to try out DOOM: The Dark Ages.
He's not interested in ray-tracing or upscaling but wants a relatively new GPU, say no more than 5 years old, so no GTX 10/20 series or of similar age. He doesn't plan to upgrade for a long time.
He prefers buying used just to save some money but he's willing to spend the extra on a current gen GPU if he cant find anything.
In my own research and experience I'm thinking in the range of an RX 6600 to at most a 6700xt/3070 performance wise.
So far on Facebook marketplace I've been finding plenty of RX 6600/XT's for $200-250 used.
As well as used RTX 3060's for about $300, 12GB versions and the Ti versions for about $350.
Probably not great pickings but its what's available in the used market for where I live.
I've considered buying new but I'm not sure how the current gen GPU's are like compared to the ones I've been looking at on the used market, so that's why I'm asking for some help. Thanks.
