Cheap gpu for casual gaming

Hey guys

I am toying with the idea of putting a gpu in my system for casual gaming.

Not really interested in playing the newest and best at the highest frame rate just something that will handle most games at around medium setting's.

My system is;

Intel i5 8500
Asus prime z370-p
16gb ddr4 2400mhz
radeon HD 5550 (very old card)
1tb Toshiba HDD
240gb Kingston ssd
corsair vs 550w psu

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any real difference between the 4gb and 8gb 570rx?

Ideal cheers for the replies guys if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to mention.

I play old games mostly but would like the option to play newer versions of games plus I'm not one to "need" to game at a minimum of 1440p I don't have high standards when it comes to gaming just as long as it's playable and enjoyable I'm good.

I think something around 570 rx price tag is more than suitable for me.

Thanks guys I reckon 8gb 570 rx looks good.

570 / 480 are the same card. however finding a 470/480 or 570/580 thats not been used for mining is very hard.
a new 570 8gb is only £150 there £120 used. the new card with 3year warranty is a no brainier

if the saveing was bugger i would go used but rolling the dice for £20/£30 is a no from me

Yeah I don't buying 2nd hand if the price is reasonable but an old 2nd hand item at 80% of retail price is always a flat out no for me.
