I finally found a few 3060's that have fallen into my price range.

EGVA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 XC

and

GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB

Which one is the better pick? The difference between the two is only 10 USD for me and I want to finally finish up this build and not have a crappy GPU in my case.

PC: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x, 3600 DDR4 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V, Crucial P2 1000 GB, MSI B550-A Pro, Noctua NH-U12s, 2 pack of Arctic PWM PST F12, Phanteks P400a, 3060 ti RX 560 in place of 3060 TI)

they are both fine as far as I know. I'd say pick the one that looks the best ascetically and cooling wise.

Agree with SignatureSigners post. If you can find a founder's edition, I would go with that, mostly because it is less expensive.

Have any questions? Please DM me!

Out of these 2 I'd get the EVGA. It has much better support if the card dies and Gigabyte GPU's have fan issues (not sure if this specific one is affected by this). Other than that they should perform similar.

 

Also see if you can get a 6600 XT or 6650 XT, or maybe even a 6700 XT. They're all faster at anything that isn't ray tracing and often the 6600 XT and 6650 XT are actually cheaper.
