Are there some hidden gem or outstanding value cards out there in the sub 200€ range? Used, if they blow out of the water some newer ones for the price, are OK.

It depends on the games you want to play. Maybe the Intel Arc B570 with 10gb VRAM is a good place to start: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/Yvbypg/acer-nitro-oc-arc-b570-10-gb-video-card-dpz4cwwp01 Although it seems only one shop has it for under 200 right now. Other shops have it slightly above, at 230 or so. At that price range, you could get a pretty good AMD RX 6600: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/NdvdnQ/asus-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-dual-video-card-dual-rx6600-8g If you must stay below 200, maybe the Nvidia RTX 3050 with 8gb VRAM is an option: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/ZPP8TW/asus-dual-oc-v2-geforce-rtx-3050-8gb-8-gb-video-card-dual-rtx3050-o8g-v2 (note that there are 6gb variants of this card too, which are a bit cheaper).

Otherwise there is not much you can do. Maybe look at used cards instead.
