Need help picking a gpu

Im confused in using these 4 gpus :

Rx 5600 Xt / Rx 5700 / Rtx 2060 / Evga Rtx 2060 KO

I would have gone for the amd cards but i have heard that its unstable and has had crashes/black screen. So i opted to nvidia but the Amd cards have significantly better performance for its price, so now im confused between these 4 cards.

I cannot use other cards as in my country these are the only 4 gpus that fit my budget

 

Im about to pair it with Ryzen 5 3600

Any thoughts?

The AMD driver issues have long since been solved, IIRC. The 2060 and 2060 KO are the exact same card, so keep that in mind when shopping.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Agree.

But this is not correct. They are more or less the same for gaming, but the 2060 has a TU106 and the 2060 KO has a cut down TU104 which performs better in some productivity workloads.

But does it still have some possibilities that it will crash / black screen?

Every card does.

So out of those 4 gpus which one do you reccomend?

If you can get one of the 5700s that can be flashed to a 5700 XT, that. If not and your main use case is gaming, whichever's cheapest.
