Good GPU for Paradox titles and other strategy games?

[Fnor]

Hello,

I've been playing with an outdated setup for quite some time and the lag was getting painful... So i just decided to upgrade got myself a new setup (i5-3570k, 16Gb RAM) but I need a GPU for it. I mainly play strategy games (the "civilization", "endless" and "X" series come to mind outside of Paradox), and I think many people here do too, so I thought I would ask what your advised GPU would be.

I've been on some hardware forums where I was recommended the GTX 1050, but I think it's quite overkilling it... and I could do with a lower budget. I generally don't mind playing at low settings if the game is fluid.

Thank you!
Fnor

If you don't want the best and most advanced card but still one that can run most games of the day I'd say the AMD Radeon RX 460. It's also a little cheaper though I think that either of those cards would last you a long time and after spending the money on a nice new setup, why not invest in a card that will be with you for a few years ?

You'll almost certainly get more response if you post this in OT (or have the thread moved there).
