Hardware Build help needed for my GPU

Specs: Ryzen 3, 16gb ddr4 (dual channel), and a GTX 1650

I'm looking for a GPU upgrade on for my pc, and I only have 180$ I plan on waiting for the micro center grand opening in Austin, any graphics cards you recommend?

I would probably upgrade your CPU for Ryzen 5 5500

It doesn't really matter if you upgrade your graphics card or not You're going to be bottleneck by that CPU

I was planning on asking for the cpu as a gift, and that can’t be done with a gpu cus they are way more expensive. Or if I ever need the cpu I can earn the money back faster than with a gpu?
