Consider a used 580 4 or 8gb depending in budget and games you play.

4gb if its just e-sports and the games you listed, as its much cheaper because current crypto like ethyruim cannot run at all on =<4GB, cards leaving them with much less demand right now.

Direct comparison between the card you wanted and the 480/580

Also sub out that b450 without Wifi and a Wifi card, for a much better motherboard with it built in one for about the same cost but better features.
