I'm currently using an RTX 3050 and debating whether to upgrade to an RTX 3060 Ti. In my area, the prices for a used 3060 Ti are around $215 to $235. There's also a new Intel Arc B580 available for about $299, and a used AMD RX 6700 XT for a similar price as the 3060 Ti. Given these options, do you think I should make the jump now, or would it be smarter to wait a bit longer?

Honestly, I’d suggest waiting a bit longer. The new 9060 XT is set to release soon, and it might offer a better upgrade than what you’re considering right now. Plus, it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the current options.
If you’re asking for advice here, you might want to hold off on trying to get a new AMD card at MSRP. Maybe stick with the 8GB version if you decide to go that route.
I'd advise saving up some more. Jumping from a 3050 to a 3060 Ti isn’t really a huge leap in performance for the price. It might be worth it to hold out for something a bit better.
I've heard similar things about the 9060 XT, hoping it stays around $299!
