I just picked up a system featuring the 7800X3D from eBay, but it came without a GPU. I went ahead and ordered a 3060 12GB for about $230 to go with it. Currently, I'm using two 2560x1440 monitors. Are there any other graphics cards around the $230 price point that would have been better options?

Definitely check out the B580! It has the same amount of VRAM as the 3060, and it actually costs about $250. Plus, it’s a newer card that doesn't feel outdated like the 3060.
I’ve heard the 3060 has a reputation for better stability compared to the B580.
You might want to look at the 9060 XT 8GB, which can be found on sale for around $270. It offers significantly better performance than the 3060. Don't forget to consider options like the B580 or RTX 5050 too, as they outperform the 3060 in the same price range.
I prefer Nvidia, as I’ve heard their drivers offer more stability compared to the B580.
