I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card from a 3060 12GB, but I want to avoid having to upgrade my power supply. My budget is under $500, and I'm running an Intel i7 11700K with 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm cool with either NVIDIA or AMD GPUs. I enjoy playing games like Marvel Rivals, some AAA titles, and indie games.

The RX 9060 XT 16GB is a solid choice for under $500, assuming you've got around a 500-550W PSU. It's a great upgrade without needing to change your power supply.
Just a heads-up, the 3060 is still pretty capable! If you're just upgrading for the sake of it, you might want to consider if your CPU also needs an upgrade instead before you jump to a new GPU.
You could also consider the RTX 4070 which fits within your budget. It offers great performance improvements over the 3060, making it worthwhile if you're looking to enhance your gaming experience.
I get that! The 3060 still does fine, but I'm looking for something that'll play newer games better.
