While the 8350 is relatively weak by modern standards, it'll pair well enough with GPUs up to around 1660Super territory. A more balanced approach is probably a 1650Super.

That being said, the PSU may well require an upgrade too.

I would look at this a couple of ways.

If this is a system you plan on keeping, no upgrade in the near(ish) future...I would likely try to keep cost down, used GPU if possible. RX570, 1060, 1050ti perhaps something along that line.
If there is an upgrade in your future I would probably buy a card with that in mind. The above suggested 1660 is a superb card for the money in the new market and really the focus this way would be more on the future target resolution/frame rate you desire for the planned build.

Either of the above and I completely second that you consider your PSU needing changed as well.

Thanks y'all for the assistance. I'll try both and see what I get. Thanks again.
