Dont look for a used card that was good new, but it ran to the ground, waste of money. There may be a few titans rotating sales right now for 1k also.
Look for websites selling cards at a loss because of inventory.
the issue im having is i dont know whats good like make brandname model ect whats ideal to get for an upgrade

5080 might be hard to hit the budget though so a 5070ti would give you more options.
All brands are basically fine, but don’t overpay too much above MSRP. 5070ti is £729 and 5080 is £949, going about 10% above MSRP is fine but some cards get silly and are 30% higher.
Just for a general idea of where the different GPUs line up next to each other. (unfortunately, they moved on from their old chart, which went back to the 580 or a generation before. But all of these are better than the 580 at this point. And it looks like they haven't put the 9060 on there yet, but that's below your budget anyway.)
Almost every brand has a "basic", "overclocked", and "deluxe overclocked" version of each of the main GPUs, with increasing prices. You just need to look at UK-local seller websites to see what your prices are.
If your gpu is a rx580, what is the rest of your system like, is that getting close to needing a upgrade also?
Could you be better off dropping a tier on gpu and doing a full system upgrade instead?
The brand really has no impact on performance at the moment, the cards, are very locked down from nvidia, with power limits, so really cheapest model is the best option unless you have a specific want or need for an added feature (bigger coolers tend to be quieter etc).
Also, updated 'super' variants of the 5070 to and 5080 are expected 'soon' which will come with a memory bump and a bit higher power limit (30w I think I read).
When 'soon' is, could be anything from now to October, but they have all but been confirmed at this point to exist and coming, so it might be worth waiting.
Where they will show up price wise is more questionable, id expect them to go a bit higher (£100 maybe).
If waiting for a rumour is worth it to you, only you can say, but, figured it was worth pointing out.
If it’s from around the same timeframe of the RX580 (eg 2017 - 2018) that could be a fairly significant limiting factor for a current gen GPU in that price range.
You can install CPUz and run its validator and then post the link to the result so people can see the specs to help give you more wholistic advice
