I'm building a budget gaming PC primarily for 1080p gaming. Here's what I have planned so far:
- Ryzen 5 5600X
- 16GB DDR4 RAM
- ASUS Prime 750W Bronze PSU
- Gigabyte A520M K V2 motherboard
Now, I'm trying to decide on a GPU. In my country, I can get a brand new 6700 XT for €250, or a brand new Arc B580 for around the same price, or a 9060 XT for €270, which has 8GB of VRAM. I'm leaning towards the 6700 XT, but I'm worried the new one might be sold, and I'm hesitant about buying a used GPU. Which one do you think is the best option?

I'd recommend going for the Arc B580. The 9060 XT with 8GB VRAM is also solid but might fall short on some newer games. If VRAM is a concern, the B580 has been getting better support and performance lately. Just keep that in mind!
Do you think the brand new 6700 XT is a better choice than the B580, especially with potential issues like drivers for Intel Arc?
