These three graphics cards cost roughly $420–$430 in my country, with only about a $20–$30 difference between them. They're overpriced, but they're the cheapest new budget options available locally, and used cards aren't much cheaper. I mainly want something that can last around five or six years. I initially ordered an RX 6750 XT with an ASUS TUF 750W power supply because my old PSU was only 550W, but the card doesn't physically fit in my current case. Should I buy a larger case and rebuild around the RX 6750 XT, or return it and choose an RTX 5060 or RX 9060 XT 8GB instead?

The RX 6750 XT is probably the strongest performer of the three, and its 12GB of VRAM is a real advantage for newer games and long-term use. Since you already have a 750W ASUS TUF PSU, power delivery shouldn’t be a concern. The main question is whether buying a larger case is worth the extra cost and hassle.
The RTX 5060 is the more efficient and convenient option. It generally performs between the other two, uses less power, and should be easier to run in a smaller case. However, all three cards have limited VRAM for a five- or six-year lifespan, so you may need to reduce texture quality sooner than expected.
I’d be cautious about the 8GB RX 9060 XT. Its reduced memory bandwidth can limit performance, especially as games become more demanding. Between these choices, I’d either keep the RX 6750 XT and get a compatible case for the extra VRAM, or choose the RTX 5060 if avoiding a rebuild is more important. The 6750 XT is the better long-term gaming bet, while the 5060 is the simpler and more power-efficient choice.
The 750W PSU is already installed, so my main issue is the case size. I’m trying to decide whether the RX 6750 XT’s extra performance and VRAM justify replacing the case.
