 The 1660S Gaming X is a higher-end AIB 1660s, if the market was normal both of those cards would be around the same price. The thing is, the market isn't normal, the market is shot to hell. Can you provide the links, or the prices and currency? 9/10 it's either a scam or you're looking at paying 2-3x the MSRP of the cards. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

USD? That 1660 is pretty overpriced if so. And the 3060 is in stock? What about the 3060ti?

Are they in stock though? That's the question. If you can afford it i'd probably go for the 3060ti.

12gb on the 3060, yeah that's pretty useless. It's basically just for show.
