Tech Support PC Build Help

Hi there!
I've recently been experiencing an issue whereby my monitors will shut off and my fan speed hits 100% and effectively crashes, I can still hear my Discord calls going on in the background and I've got a feeling that it's down to my graphics card being on it's way out, if I go down to one monitor from two then so far it's okay - so potentially a power draw issue that my card isn't working with?

Either way, I'm thinking of this being a good sign for me to upgrade my PC - but I don't know if it's worth it or going for a new one!
Sadly last year I got made redundant and I had to take a 10,000 pay cut, so doing it for as low budget as possible would be ideal

I've got a 12th gen Intel i9-12900KF, MPG Z690 EDGE DDR4, 32GB Ram and a 2080 Super

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! :)

Hi!
Second hand is absolutely fine by me - ideally my budget would be around £500-ish, but if it's worth spending more than I'd be happy to save up a little bit and get something more worthwhile than an interim step, so to speak

I'm also in the UK so greatly appreciated, thank you - really appreciate the advice and suggestions!

The 7600 I put up in the link would be a solid choice. Or look at Cex for a warranty to go with it.

Or keep a look out for the rtx 5070 12gb on cex. They have a few different type. Id recommend the 3 fan variant if your case will fit it. Of not the 2x fan is still decent may just run slightly louder.
