Recommended AMD/Nvidia Graphics Upgrade for his Computer
So with what money I got, I figure that since I didnt get much of anything for my dad for christmas, an upgrade to his graphics card as well as a new monitor would be a nice thing to do for him (he left his old one on and it has a bad case of screen burn, still works but retains image of desktop after a few hours, no LCD Conditioning mode on his monitor fixes it), a late christmas gift so to speak. he doesnt do heavy gaming, he primarily does light gaming, but mostly ancestry work, watches youtube, and other non-gaming stuff. wants to get into rust so he can play with my brother, but otherwise has little major games installed on his desktop
now I got my eyes on a basic monitor for him, nothing fancy like freesync or 4k stuff, just a basic 24" monitor with HDMI capability and maybe a displayport, nothing else, but what im puzzled on is what graphics card should I get him that would be a good step up from his old one; im not looking for a really expensive graphics card for him, just something that will outperform his old one, will fit into his computer with little to no spacing problems, and will hopefully work for a long while without any useless Video TDR Failure blue screens (that was a pain to fix btw, a true pain), pricing is also a thing (will primarily hunt for it on ebay, unless amazon or other vendors can offer a cheaper price)
