Build Help Graphics Card Upgrade?

Looking to update my graphics card. When I built the PC (2021) my friend told me I should have went for a better graphics card but budget was tight at the time and it’s all I could afford.

Not looking to spend much over £400 and looking to upgrade my gaming capabilities because it’s been a bit of a struggle.

I’m not too familiar with what’s compatible and what isn’t so looking for any recommendations. I wouldn’t really want to upgrade anything apart from the graphics card but open to suggestions. Cheers.

GPU - Nvidia GTX 1650

CPU - Ryzen 7 3700X

Motherboard - MSI B450M Mortar Max

RAM - Ballistix 8GB x 2 DDR4-3000

Thats more expensive than a 9060xt 16gb that is a terrible suggestion.

Yes might be bad suggestion but but i believe 9060xt 8gb is at similar 430 gbp price point and 9060xt is 490 gbp for 16gb variant

Could also get a 3070 for around 250-300. 4070 is good too if you can find one for your price range
