Hello everyone,

My sisters birthday is coming up and I wanted to upgrade her graphics card so she could run overwatch smoothly.
Her current PC is:
Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
PSU: CIT Pentinum M-500U (500W)
CPU: AMD A8-7650k 3.3GHz
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz DDR3
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 240

Now I was planning on replacing the GPU with a Radeon rx 460 specifically this one (https://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125898&cm_re=radeon_rx_460-_-14-125-898-_-Product)

After checking the compatibility for the motherboard and W requirements for the PSU I'm under the impression that it should be fine, however I would like a second opinion before I buy it, since I've not done this kind of thing before, additionally if you have any better suggestions let me know, my budget is only £100.

Rx480 4gb if you can afford it and flash it to an rx580 8gb, much better than a 1050ti or a 1060. But 500w may just be enough, how ever the current prices of em are really inflated due to a super high demand by Bitcoin miners. If not, a 1050ti is a respectable card

The £100 is the total budget. I assume the current PSU isn't a product know for its reliability, so it should be replaced?
