ASUS AREZ-PH-RX550

GPU: Radeon RX-550 | Price: ₹5000

You get two gigs of DDR5 graphics memory clocked at 6000MHz, a 64-bit memory bus, DirectX12 support, Freesync and 4k support. Now, sure this won’t be able to tear through any game you throw at it, but that feature list is impressive for the price.

You have the standard HDMI and DVI ports for connectivity. The size is weird, so you might have issues fitting this card if you have a narrow case; otherwise, it makes for a solid sell.
