Hey I have a rig that I need to upgrade cuz I bricked my mobo, so ima be getting a new one and possible getting a new gpu.. plz don't comment telling me to get a new cpu cuz I can't aford to get a new socket mobo and cpu. Only a gpu

Specs: I have a 720p monitor so... I tiny bit like 5-10 fps drop from a bottleneck won't hurt me..

Athlon x4 860k 3.7 ghz
8 GB DDR3 1300
Xfx r7 360 2gb
Ultra 500W psu

What is the best 150-175$ gpu that can run , rainbow six seige, unreal engine games, bf1, overwatch and all modern shooters.. at 720p high- ultra 60 fps

You're at 720p, so if I were you I'd test the 360 on at least one of those games. Use a program, like MSI Afterburner, that allows you to see CPU and GPU usage while you play. As long as your CPU is not maxed out, then yeah a new videocard will help.

I agree that a 1050 Ti is the most you should pay for. It has 4gb so max/ultra settings are something it can handle at 720p.

It's tough to suggest other options because the 1050 Ti has one feature that's hard to match- low power demands.

In AMD cards the equivalents would be something like a 380 or 380X, but those cards use a lot more power. You have listed you have a 500W power supply, which is good, but it's something called an 'Ultra" which is bad. I wouldn't trust a cheap power supply to handle more demanding cards.
