Hello Tomshardware!

I am looking to upgrade my GPU on my current PC and am having a hard time trying to figure out the best option.

I know my rig is old now but I don't have enough money to upgrade to new rig


My current build is:

CPU: Intel I7-920
CPU Cooling System: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B
MotherBoard: GigaByte X58A-UD7
RAM: Adata DDR3 8GB 1600Mhz
EVGA 650W
Resolution: 1920x1080

i want to play on games at 1920x1080 resolution. Anyone who can help me choice the best option without bottlenecking?

Any help and advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

What about GTX 1050 TI or GTX 1650

If your in the US the RX 570 is a better choice for the money over the 1050 ti or 1650.

For $400 though why not just get a better CPU, GPU & more memory?

The question goes beyond a bottleneck. The cpu is 11 years and below the recommended for many modern games, in these games it will give poor performance regardless of gpu choice. However other games I expect it will perform satisfactory with a gpu like the 570/580 already suggested.
