Built my computer back in 2018 and looking to upgrade the graphics card. Currently using a "Gigabyte AMD GV-RX550D5-2GD 2 GB 128-Bit GDDR5 Graphics Card " My budget is around €300. Thanks for any help !

My other specs if needed are:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Desktop CPU

Corsair CP-9020121-UK CX Series 550 W CX550 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply

16gb RAM

MSI AMD AM4 B350 PC Mate Ryzen Gen DDR4 VRR M.2 Audio LAN ATX Motherboard

Thanks again!

Yes, massive difference. Just be sure to do a clean install of the drivers.

I own the same GPU (1660S) and it handles newer AAA games at 2560x1080P fairly easily on higher settings so if your at 1080P you should be able to play on High/Ultra without issue.

What size fan?

There's also a option for a GPU with dual fans instead of one if that would be better for you.

This should work fine although there wasn't much listed on PCPer so you may want to check local sites/stores to see what they have and if it's cheaper as pretty much any 120mm fan would be fine to use for cooling. I try to have them under 25 dBA so there pretty quiet.
