You're thinking about upgrading for Black Friday. It looks like your current GPU might not handle the extra workload, especially with its PCIe lane count. You should consider a 3400G if you want to keep up with modern games. Graphics typically need around 16 lanes, so checking compatibility is key.
PCIe 3.0 X8 covers most current graphics cards well, except in very rare situations.
