Let's jump on the GPU details and pros and cons.
1) Gigabyte GT 1030 OC 2G :
Yes, for now this is the good looing GPU for the budget seekers. But honestly it's a really good OC GPU. Don't underestimate this GT. Here is a small video of GT 1030 where the tester is using 16 GB of DDR4 ram combined with a Intel core i3 9100f. By, "Testing Games".
As you see you can get a playable FPS on the new games like RDR 2. And getting 60 to 80 FPS on the previous gen games like GTA 5. So I hope you may consider this GPU for your next upgrade if you're not a Nvidia GTX user or a AMD RX 500 series user.

But if you are, you're not here to read the praise of this GT lineup GPU. So here some suitable upgrades for you,
2) Visiontek Radeon RX 560:
This GPU is really worthy, for those who are using GTX 6 series or GT series GPU's. It can fight nicely against the GTX 7 series. Even in some cases it could also tackle the Nvidia 10 series GPU's. It also got 4 GB vram with GDDR5 high speed memory. Which is a nice amount of memory to play some decent games of these days. The GPU clock speed (1175 MHz) and the stream cores are pretty decent. Yeah, I know that you are seeing the old GPU design which cannot create a decent impression to the buyer's eye. But it's not the design, the spotlight of this GPU is it's performance. With four 4K@60 FPS ports, you can't connect more than four displays. But that's spectacularly enough. Also, for the favor of performance and current GPU stock situation, you may consider to buy one.
