I have no idea... I've never had to really deal with hardware myself, so the specific details are beyond me. When I get a new PC, it gets put together at the local Fry's... they handle the part choices. If I tried to figure it out myself, it'd be a disaster.
But what I do know is that plenty of cheap-yet-recent cards can still handle modern games. They wont do it particularly well, mind you... you'll likely be running on low settings, and things like VR stuff is out of the question in many cases.
Best to do some research before putting any new part into your machine. Not just to make sure you're getting the right one: but also to make sure the machine can take it. Sticking a new card in and then finding out that, oops, the power supply cant take it (and thus also needs to be replaced) would be a little annoying.
There are forums and things like Discord servers specifically about these things, where you can ask around and point out the price range you're okay with, and the games you most want to play (and mention that you're okay with low settings). But be ready to give ALL of your PC specs when you do so, so that anyone that helps can spot any issues that might pop up.
And dont just rush into any purchase, definitely. If you take your time and do it all properly, you'll probably get what you want.
