I'm in the market for a GPU and I've found a used RTX 3060 that fits my budget of $200-$240. I have a B450 motherboard, so I think something like a 6600 XT might not perform as well. I came across a Leadtek WinFast RTX 3060 CLASSIC 12G, but it has a single fan design that looks different from typical GPUs. Is this a good choice, or should I consider something else?

The Leadtek has a blower-style fan similar to the founders edition GPUs, which should work fine for cooling. Leadtek used to be pretty popular in the EU, so they do have a history. It should perform decently for your needs!
Honestly, I'd go for the RX 6600 XT over the RTX 3060 if I were you. On a PCIe Gen 3 motherboard, it tends to outperform the 3060. Plus, you'll get better value for gaming in many scenarios.
I think the 3060 might be a better long-term option since it has 12GB while the 6600 XT only has 8GB.
Okay, thanks for the info!
