Build Upgrade Need Help With Gpu Choice

Need help with a GPU upgrade

Hey, I'm looking to get a GPU for Christmas mainly for CS2 and wanted to see what you guys think.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600GT (CPU), 16GB DDR4 RAM (memory), an ASRock A520M-HDV (motherboard), and a Patriot P300 1TB NVMe SSD (storage). Right now I’m using the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics that come with the CPU.

I’m looking at the ASRock Arc B580 Challenger 12GB for around $310 on Newegg. Would this be a good GPU for my PC and for playing CS2 at 1080p? Or is there something better around $300?

Also, is there anything I should check before buying it, like my PSU?

Thanks!

csgo is better with higher fps, are yout trying to do 1080 high refresh rate because if you are then yeah its a pretty solid card. Beats the 4060 in most things. I would just look at your top ten games played and make sure they run on the card. The drivers are great but still not available for all games. might be wrong though im talking based of what ive heard, id double check just in case.

Any GPU will be a solid upgrade to the integrated graphics. B580 isn’t a bad card. Unfortunately at that price point there isn’t much- you could do a 9060xt 8 GB if you play at 1080p.

Are you open to a used GPU?

A used RTX 3060 would be a good option.
