You're very polite for JustAnIdiot

If you're not averse to buying second hand I would wait a month and browse the glut of cards that should hit the market due to the 3070/3080 release. You should be able to pick up a well priced 2070 Super.

I would then consider upgrading your CPU in the new year with a second hand 3600 that should start appearing in quantity by then (motherboard?).

If you can call it that XD

The motherboard is Asus A320m-k

Advice still stands - if you don't mind second hand, you could nab yourself a great upgrade if predicted price plummets come to fruition.

We can keep hoping, Thank you for the advice.

Second hand is your best bet.

Ryzen 3600.
16GB of RAM in dual channel, it looks like you might have mismatched sticks.
RX580 8GB or similar.
An SSD with what is left over assuming you don't have one.

Should all be doable for £300.

What power supply do you have by the way? It might impact your options.

Yeah, TBH - @Gray2233 more frugal approach will get you instant gratification.

In this case, more bang for your buck right now. Although, my second hand approach would have cost you more - but the addition of an SSD, if you can squeeze it in, would be great.

Yes, understandable/sensible - i missed your PSU question which was why i was totally confused. I thought you had you're own telepathic lingo going on

Ah. Ninja edit on my end.

I've just been to a family birthday dinner that involved way too much wine, was worried I wasn't making much sense. lol
