I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card for better gaming performance since my RTX 3050 doesn't handle newer games well anymore. I currently have $290 saved and expect to get an additional $50-$100 from Christmas and work. I can stretch my budget a bit more if needed. I've linked my PC part picker list below for reference on my current setup. Aside from upgrading my monitor and accessories, I haven't made any significant hardware changes yet. Any recommendations?

Also, just a heads up, I noticed there's no SSD in your parts list. If you're focused on performance, try to set aside some budget for an SSD. It can really speed up loading times and overall system responsiveness!
Consider getting the 9060 XT! The 8GB version is around $290, but for a bit more, the 16GB version at $360 is definitely worth it for improved performance. Trust me, you want that extra VRAM for modern titles.
