Hi all looking for some #help. My computer GPU gave up the ghost an old R9 280 paired up with an AMD FX 9590, so instead of replacing I just brought a new system Woo Hoo.
Now my son wants his own computer so I'm looking for a replacement GPU that I can put into my old system for him.
What would be best with GPU for that system, also running 8Gigs DDR3 and an SSD.
He doesn't play all that demanding games his most modern game is fallguys, he also plays dicey dungeons though he has taken an interest in… See More
Baulders Gate 3.
many thanks in advance

XFX rx 570 with my Fx8350 can play Assassin's creed Valhalla, but I have 24gb of ram also.

Well, maximum I would go for that CPU is probably used GTX 1070 because GTX 1070 is damn good and when your son gets better system, he could use GTX 1070 on new system, I wouldn't try to skimp on GPU as it is quite expensive to buy GPU again in the near future.
To give you an example, GTX 1070 is more or less equal than GTX 980 Ti.
And if it that's too expensive, then pick RX 580 or RX 570 (if the budget doesn't allow for higher GPUs I mentioned) JUST don't get 4GB VRAM variant!

GTX 1070 costs 170€, that's roughly £150.
Now that's up to you
Edit: okay, the price for used GTX 1070 in UK is ridiculous... it's way expensive than here.... then get RX 580 8GB and call it a day.

What budget are you looking at? I would not go above a GTX 1650 Super or RX 5500XT. The ones I'd look at would be Radeon RX 570, GTX 1050Ti or GTX 1650. Based on the games you mentioned, even RX 550 or GTX 1030 would do.
