What budget card would you guys recommend to play Fortnite on max settings?

[Jonathan Lucas]

I built a rig for my 11 year old son using some spare parts I had laying around.

Gigabyte mobo AM3

Quad core AMD black edition running at 2.8 ghz

8 gigs of DDR3 PC6400 memory

Kingston SSD harddrive 256gb

500 watt power supply.

 

300mb cable wan

 

Just looking for some input on a good PCI-E card that I can pop in to give my boy some good playability on Fortnite.

 

Can someone give me some advice as I am not a gamer, would not like to spend $200.00. 

 

Thanks so much in advance everyone!!

I don't pretend to know much about graphics cards, but this one seems pretty decent, is under $200 and I think it is above the recommended specs for Fortnite:

Why go for an RX550 when you can go with an RX570 for the same price?  (this is a bargain btw, it doesn't fall too much behind the RX580 which I bought a few months ago for equivalant of around $250)

Should manage between 60-100 fps on max settings
