Was this Gigabyte 5600 xt 6gb worth the $350 I just paid for it?

I am building 2 gaming rigs right now (perfect time for it huh?). One for my girlfriend and one to replace the one I built for myself in 2013. 

 

For mine I got a Ryzen 5 2600 for $150 on sale which I'm hoping will be an upgrade from my old FX8350.

 

Today I spotted This  Gigabyte 5600xt 6gb and impulsively ordered it. I'm hoping this will also be an upgrade from ye olde PNY GTX780 3GB. Given the current scarcity of gpus it seemed like a good buy at $350. I plan on playing games at 1920x1080 at >100hz, maybe 2560x1440 if I can upgrade my monitor soon. Will this rig accomplish that or was my impulse buy a bad call?

 

Thanks for your input!

AMD FX 8350, ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R2.0, Crucial Ballistix Tracer 4x4GB 1866, PNY GTX780, Corsair HX850, Phantom 630, Samsung 120GB SSD, WD Black 2TB HDD

Rest in peace, legend.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Gigabyte RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, 4TB Samsung SSD, and a crippling depression that causes me to buy games and not play them lol

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Well... There are cheaper 5500XT's listed on Newegg, there is a $320 one for sale... But I don't know how it would compare to what you got.

 

Plus, shipping...

 

I'd call it a win and just be happy with it.

I was going to argue, but PCpartpicker shows a MSI 5500XT for $180 in stock right now at B&H Photo and Video... So, yeah, I guess you're correct. o.x

Yup as long as it will give me >100hz and possibly run 1440p I'm gonna just be happy with it. And if not, I'll put it in my gf's rig and get myself something better when more things are in stock.
