I'm back with another question! I'm currently considering two graphics cards: the RTX 5060 8GB and the RX 9060 XT 8GB. I have a Ryzen 7 5700G, an Asus Prime A520M-K motherboard, 16GB of RAM, and a 750W power supply. Given my setup, which one do you think I should go for?

Actually, the RX 9060 XT isn't even out yet! You might mean the 7600 XT, or perhaps you’re just keen on waiting for the next-gen cards to come out.
Right?! It's like they time-traveled from last year!
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend either. 8GB VRAM feels a bit lacking for modern gaming. You'd be better off with a 3060 that has 12GB, or if you're okay with used parts, a 3080 would be a solid choice. Also, consider upgrading your processor and motherboard combo to something like a Ryzen 5600 with a B550M for better performance. And if you can swing it, aim for 32GB of RAM in the future to stay ahead as it becomes the standard.
LOL, yeah, someone should remind them it's still in the pipeline!
