Those high settings and about 56 fps seem great for me, so I might go for it.
It hinges a great deal on your local market conditions. If you spot a solid offer, aim for a GTX 970 or 1060 based on what you discover. You might come across a 280x at a very low price, but overall it’s largely about chance. Imagine you purchase a 280x for $70 and a 970 for $80—then the 970 offers a better value. Conversely, if the 970 costs $150 locally while the 280x is only $50, you’re still on the right track. If you’re working with a B450 board, the situation remains similar. For instance, I’ve seen a used 2600 for €70 in my area—it’s still a solid CPU capable of running modern titles (6 cores, 12 threads). It’s a decent deal if you can manage it. However, if you need to tighten your budget, a Ryzen 3 1200 at €40 could work, though it’s only 4 cores with 4 threads and will likely feel like a step down compared to your current setup. Ultimately, the decision depends heavily on your location and how fortunate you are in the used market.
