Hey everyone! I'm a newbie trying to figure out which GPU to purchase. I found a deal from a seller who seems to have a good reputation (I've looked into their history and some people have recommended them). I'm open to buying used GPUs, but I want to make sure I get something that performs well. Ideally, I want to play online games like Valorant, League of Legends, and CS2 at 170-200 fps, and I also want to enjoy some AAA games with smooth performance—over 80 fps is my target. I'm looking for something that works well at 1080p to 1440p, and I might also use my PC for work tasks like organizing files and editing. Here are some GPUs available in my area along with their prices converted to dollars:
===AMD===
MSI Gaming X RX 6800XT 16GB - $336
ASUS TUF Gaming RX 6800 16GB - $311
ASUS TUF Gaming RX 6700XT 12GB - $255
Gigabyte Eagle RX 6700XT 12GB - $235
XFX Swift RX 6600XT 8GB - $205
ASRock Challenger Pro RX 6600XT 8GB - $215
XFX Swift RX 6600 8GB - $168
===NVIDIA===
Galax Dual Black RTX 4060 8GB - $244
Palit GamingPro RTX 3070 8GB - $265
Colorful Gaming ES RTX 2080 Super 8GB - $210
Galax Dual RTX 2070 Super 8GB - $193
Galax Dual RTX 2060 6GB - $143
My budget is between $180 and $300, but I can stretch it to $330 if it's really worth it. Any suggestions would be super helpful! Thanks!

Are there really no RTX 5060 models around for $300 in your area? You might find it a great deal if they pop up.
If you can manage to stretch your budget to $336, I highly recommend going for the RX 6800 XT. It’s the best card in your list and will handle 1440p gaming like a champ. Plus, it has double the VRAM compared to most Nvidia options, which is crucial for newer AAA games and video editing down the line. If you're sticking strictly under $300, then the RX 6700 XT is a solid alternative, as it typically outperforms the 3070 and 4060 in games while offering more memory for your money.
Woah, thanks for the suggestion! I really appreciate it.
This is the correct answer!
Unfortunately, none in my area. I did see some offers on Facebook Marketplace, but they look risky like they require a lot of effort to verify.
