Hi i wanted to buy a new gpu for my system. I was looking at gpu prices in my country and ive found 2 really interesting gpus: theres a rx 580 8 gb for 140 euro; rx 6500xt for 160euro . I currently have a rx 550 and mainly play fps games like ow2 and valorant. I wanted to know which gpu is the best for those prices 😀 ah and also is my pc gonna be able to run those gpus with a 550 watts80+ bronze psu?
 
Between those two, neither. 580 has more VRAM but is ancient and the 6500 doesn't have enough VRAM.

What's your budget?
i would like to spend less than 200 euro and as i said i play mostly ow2 and valorant games that i can run at decent fps with the lowest settings so i would like a gpu capable to run those games at 144fps with medium high settings

I understand that but why "upgrade" at all? You are throwing money away with those two. Depending on the rest of your system specs, buy a used, better card

If you don't want to go used route, bump your budget up. 6600 non XT is so close to that 200 euro mark and that would be an actual considerable upgrade than the RX550. Meanwhile the 6650XT is 40 euro more and that would be the entry level 1080p card for me and is right on for 550W PSU besides going for used.
 
its a cooler master mwe bronze v2 550w 230v and bought new 1 month ago
So, you cheaped out on PSU. Why? 🤔

CM MWE V2 Bronze units have high ripple issues and also coil whine issues. On top of that, the PSU itself, at very best, is only mediocre quality unit. Seasonic Focus or Corsair RMx/RMi would've been far better choice.

For 2nd opinion, look PSU tier list,

Your CM MWE V2 Bronze is Tier B, low priority unit, while what i'd suggest, would be anything from Tier A.

GTX 1660 Super is what you could get for ~€200 and is both, better than RX 580 and also doesn't consume as much power as RX 580. It is also capable of pushing ~144 FPS at 1080p with High settings (depending on a game).

Honestly a lot of B unit isn't half bad especially considering a lot of A units are very expensive on micro budget systems like these. But yeah, 1660S also a good shout if you are comfortable with used because those can be found at a bargain. For raw performance though I'm still pretty steadfast with RX 6600 recommendation, either of these GPU will get pretty smashed in terms of VRAM so might as well get the best die.
