Question To Upgrade my old CPU

My motherboard is (ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0) and processor is (AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz AM3+ Socket 6 Cores 6 threads 6MB L2 8 MB L 3). I want a recent suitable graphics card to upgrade my machine to Windows11 OS. Could anyone kindly help me ?
NB- This is a Desktop PC.
 
I have a FX 8350 system, and after using various GPUs, here's my advice.

Forget recent GPUs, and grab a cheap RX580 8GB (Polaris). You are limited to PCIe 2.0 so the PCIe 3.0 x16 on the 580 will be better than something newer with x8 like the RX 5500XT. Anything faster is too heavily bottlenecked on FX to be worth the time or money.

The reason I don't suggest Nvidia is driver overhead. FX needs all the help it can get, and having the GPU burden it further is unacceptable.

Could you kindly like to share the link of your prescribed graphics cards?

I don’t think windows will let you install Windows 11 on that old a system. Maybe there is a work around though, not sure.

There are multiple methods to run it on unsupported hardware. I run 11 pro on a 2400g. I haven't put it on either FX system, but they will run it.
