Push the budget up a bit and get a RX 6600 would my suggestion (£240 on OCUK). It is much faster than the other cards in this price range (e.g. 1650, 6500, 6400) and not meaningfully impacted by a PCI-E 3.0 motherboard. If it has to be £200 then the 1660 @ £200 is a better choice than a 1650 (albeit still way behind a 6600).

Budget option would be to grab a 6500 XT for £99 in the B-grade section. It'll be impacted by PCI-E 3.0, but it's still massively faster than onboard.
