GPU

A graphics card would be the biggest key addition to this build. There’s a myriad of potential options out there, but unless you’re upgrading the CPU as well, it’s best to stick with a relatively conservative choice. A Radeon RX 580 or 570 from AMD would serve this build well, or a GeForce GTX 1650 from Nvidia. If you are inclined to upgrade the processor, though, the sky’s the limit; currently, our top GPU recommendations are the GeForce RTX 2070 Super and 2080 Super, both excellent cards for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The Radeon RX 5700 XT also gets an honorable mention here, currently one of the best AMD GPUs available.
