I'm a bit worried about picking the right graphics card for my setup and compatibility with my components. I've narrowed it down to three options: 1) RX 9060 XT with 16GB GDDR6, 2) RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB GDDR7, and 3) Intel ARC B580 with 12GB GDDR6. My current setup includes an Asrock B660M-HDV motherboard, a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1000W XPG Core Reactor II power supply. My main concern is whether these cards will work with my motherboard. Any recommendations and tips on compatibility would be helpful!

Go for the 9060 XT 16GB. It’s a solid choice and has been getting good reviews lately.
Your motherboard should be fine with any of those graphics cards. Modern graphics cards are generally plug-and-play. The best choice really depends on the price and which games you'll be playing. Consider those factors when making your decision!
I'd recommend the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB if you want the benefits of Nvidia features, just make sure it's not too much more expensive than the 9060 XT. If the price difference is significant, then the 9060 XT would be the way to go.
If they're all around the same price, go with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. However, if the 5060 Ti is more than about 10% pricier, I’d suggest the RX 9060 XT. Both of these options outperform the Intel ARC B580 in terms of performance and their driver support is better too.
Thanks for the advice! That helps a lot!
