I'm considering upgrading my current PC which has a 6650 XT. I've seen the RX 9060 benchmarks, and they look impressive, suggesting I could potentially double my performance. There's a Micro Center nearby selling a 16GB version for $350, which seems like a fair price. I want to know if it will work with my existing setup, which includes a Ryzen 5700 CPU, a 600W PSU, and a B550 motherboard.

This upgrade sounds solid! Just ensure you get the 16GB model. Also, if you don’t have 32GB of RAM at at least 3200MHz, I’d recommend getting that for better performance. The ray tracing and FSR4 features are great for future-proofing your setup too.
Honestly, while the 5700 isn’t the best due to its L3 cache limitations, you’ll still experience a nice boost in performance with the RX 9060. Just make sure you've got the right model!
The 6650 XT has a similar power draw to the RX 9060, so it should work fine with your power supply!
Actually, the RX 9060 only has 8GB versions. Are you referring to the RX 9060 Ti with 16GB? Those are pricier than $350.
There is no such thing as a 9060; you're probably mixing up AMD and Nvidia models! OP means the RX 9060 XT!
Your build will definitely support this GPU! Most newer GPUs will work with your setup, except for some without cable connections.
Yeah, don’t confuse the models! It’s important to get the naming right when discussing AMD GPUs.
