Hey everyone! I'm currently rocking an R5 3600 with an RTX 4060 that I built in December 2023. I recently upgraded my CPU to a 5700X and boosted my RAM to 32GB. I play games like RDR2, The Witcher 3, and Shadow of War, and I'm looking to dive into more games like these soon. I'm considering whether I should upgrade my GPU now. I'm thinking about selling my RTX 4060 for around 300€ ($350) since it goes for about 350-400€ ($400-470) new here in Greece. I've heard GPU prices might rise, which makes me hesitant to pay those prices later on, especially considering the history with RAM. The 9060XT 16GB is my top pick right now, with the 5060 Ti 16GB also on my radar. However, the RTX 5070+, while great, is a bit pricey for me. What do you all recommend?

Definitely go for the 9060XT 16GB if you're looking for a solid upgrade. It's a great choice unless you're considering waiting for the 9070 or 9070XT, which might be worth it if the pricing comes down. NVIDIA's current lineup isn't as competitive unless you need CUDA for specific applications.
The RTX 5060 is going for about 300€ in Greece. If you can sell your 4060 for that price, it would feel like a free upgrade. Plus, you'll likely see a noticeable performance increase! Just make sure to check benchmarks first to see how much of a difference it makes in your favorite games.
Is the performance upgrade really significant? Or is it just a minor boost of like 5fps?
