Hello I recently purchased a 590 for 60 pounds and I'm wondering if it was a good purchase (my PSU can handle it). (its an Asus gtx 590 from cex)

Honestly, that card is pretty old and will most modern games at medium settings if you want 60 fps. The architecture is also older so it is less efficient than current cards.

I don't know if you are able to return it, but even the lowest end Nvidia card from 2015 will absolutely crush it in performance. For example, you can pick up a gtx 950 for about 80£ on newegg. If you want I can recommend you a better different GPU if you know how much you're willing to spend.
