I'm in the process of building a new gaming PC and I'm reusing some components from my old setup, particularly a Corsair 750w PSU and 32GB of Crucial DDR4 RAM. The rest of my build includes a Ryzen 7 5700x CPU, an ASUS Prime B500M motherboard, a Thermalright Assassin 120 SE cooler, a 2TB M.2 SSD, and a 4TB HDD. I'm currently deciding on a GPU; I'm considering the 9060 XT 8GB to replace my RTX 3060 XC 12GB. My budget is around $300. I mostly play games like Spider-Man 2, TLOU 2 Remastered, and Cyberpunk 2077, but my old i5-9600k with the 3060 isn't performing well at medium settings anymore. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Have you checked out the Arc B580? It's basically like a stronger 4060 and comes with 12GB of VRAM. The 9060 XT 16GB is another good choice, although it usually runs around $350-$360. But with Black Friday coming up, you might find it closer to your $300 budget.
I was looking into the Arc too, but I've heard mixed things about their drivers causing issues. And yeah, I've seen the 16GB 9060 priced around $360 on Amazon lately.
