Hi! I've been planning to upgrade my PC for a while now but I only have a limited budget.. And I need to make room for upgrading my storage as well, should I get the 3050 or 6600? Thank you!
My PC specs:
Ryzen 5 5500
GTX 1650
32gb ram

There are two 3050s, 6GB and 8GB, which are you asking about?
The 6GB is garbage anyways, and the 6600 is still quite a bit better than the 8GB.
What do you have for a power supply? A 1650 and a 3050 6GB are <75W GPUs that can be powered just by the PCIe slot on a mobo. Do you have a PSU that can handle something better that requires PCIe power cables?

What OS do you run? If you run Linux, or are considering to give it a go, then RX6600.

If you can afford a 5050 it would be a better option than both or a 4060 I wouldn't upgrade for a miniscule preformance uplift, these GPUs will work well with the ryzen 5 5500, I don't know what power supply you have but 99% you wouldn't need to change your current one and you will be set for a long while

RX 6600 , although how is the used market ? Maybe you could get something stronger like the xt version of it
