Building my daughter a new computer. She’s games a little primarily Overwatch. Other than that not much of a gamer. Looking for some suggestions for a good video card to meet her needs and not break the bank

1650 Super, 1660, 1660 Super is fine for 1080p. Really about future proofing it a little when selecting between these three for 1080p (60hz, I imagine?)

a used rx480 will do wonders for around 100$.
check local classified ads (kijiji in canada, craigslist, etc)

both cards mentioned above will keep overwatch at 80-090 fps on ultra

Thanks for the inputs I should have mentioned that my ceiling was around 250 to 300

both of those cards fit the bill, the 1650super is far closer to 250 maybe 225 for a new 580 same as the 480 just slightly faster.

Prices are crazy atm

I'd lean in the direction of the 1660 or 1660 Super. Typically can be had for $240 or less, but yeah, prices have gone all over the place.

There were a few times when the RX 5600 XT could be had, after rebates, for under $240. Again, before the craziness of the past few weeks. If that happens, I'd absolutely recommend that.
