So I built my PC a few months back with gift money and also trades with some mates. Got my cpu and motherboard in a Memory express bundle, 16gb ddr4/an m.2 ssd just before the crisis got bad, gpu off a friend, ect. My current pc ended up being as follows: an Asus B550M-A AC, Teamgroup tforce vulkan z 16gb ddr4, Ryzen 5 5500, and a GTX 1650 (for $40 lol). I now want to upgrade my gpu (and later cpu) and am having trouble deciding on a new gpu (I'd also rather not buy used with risks of issues). My price range is $300cad-$475cad (with me selling the 1650) and I am torn between an RX 9060 XT for $450cad and an Intel Arc B580 12gb for $360cad. I am aware running pcie 3.0 with the Ryzen 5500 is a bottleneck for both cards but with the RX 9060 XT running at x16 bandwidth and the bottlenecks on the Arc not being too bad from what I hear is where my indecision lies. Another thing is vram limitations which I'm not entirely sure if I should worry about at 1080p. I plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 5800XT later down the line as well. The games I'd like to run well are Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 6, all the older Battlefield games, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Resident Evil 9, and also the random 2000s-late 2010s game. Thank you in advance :)
