    Hi, My son has a Gtx 750Ti Evga 2Gb Superclocked in his pc at the moment. He has asked if he can get an upgrade but I dont know what a suitable( reasonably cheap) upgrade I should get for him. Something secondhand even.

    Pc Specs now:

    Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 motherboard
    Xeon E3 1220 V3 Cpu
    Gtx 750Ti Evga 2Gb Superclocked
    16GB Ram 1333Mhz
    500 Watt power supply

    Thanks for any help.

    What games is he playing. The processor would be severely limiting in some modern games though the graphics card is seriously outdated. Something like a gtx1660 would be huge upgrade, but an rx570 is also a massive upgrade for £110.

    RX 570 4Gb - €100
    Huge GPU upgrade (~239%) for very little money.

    I'd also suggest an SSD for Windows if there isn't one yet - 240Gb drives are under €30 now though they get cheaper per/Gb the larger the drive.

    Thanks for the advice guys. 100 euro for the RX 570 is unreal. Over 200 on Amazon! Is there a catch?

    Those models were €115-125 on Amazon until recently, I don't think there's a catch though.
    Also those Sapphire models are the best for that particular GPU.

    Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8GB
    16gb 2133MHz RAM

    All in mint condition.
