Cheapie GPU for Minecraft and soft gaming

[roger m]

Hey All, need a GPU to play Minecraft and similar games. The cheapest GPU's I can find are the Intel A380 (R3.5k) and the Arktek RX580 (R3k-more like a RX570).

Which is the better one? Or are there any better options?

The RX580/570 are a bit long in the tooth, and they have been through many mining / crypto booms cycles. Good card, but they seem to die at a steady rate.

Intel would be better.

Why not get an APU, that would be best?

I was looking at the 4560g from Evetech but I've been reading that the APU might not be able to handle more serious mods/details of Minecraft.

Don't have a current rig but trying to get a second hand i3 for the GPU. It will be general day-to-day usage besides gaming. Currently have a cheap laptop where this will replace it. Maybe R5k budget max.
