I'm considering getting an RTX 3050 that's priced at $170. Is it actually a good choice, or should I be looking at something better?

If you're looking at the 6GB model, I'd suggest passing. It's pretty weak compared to older GPUs you could find for around $50. The 8GB variant isn't much better either, especially when the RX 6600 surpassed it in terms of performance when both were available.

Honestly, I'd recommend aiming for at least a 3060 Ti instead. You'll get much better performance for just a little more cash.
