Price-Performance GPU in 2023?

Yo I wanted to know what GPU I should buy to upgrade my PC and couldn't really find an answer. I am a student so my budget doesn't quite fit in the NVIDIA range, with the good one's being sold out. I use a 165 Hz monitor and an Oculus Rift S (90 Hz for each lens) so my GTX 1660 Super won't cut it. Or if I should wait for the market to calm down, if it ever stops inflating... Thanks in advance! My setup is in the attachments

Budget ? Part prices ? Location ? Usage ?

You could just upgrade the CPU to a 5600 to 5800X3D, and the GPU, but before that get a NVMe M2...

That's a czech borther right there, is SSD important  when it comes to VR?

It's just better all around for loading/writing stuff, but not really a game changer for VR

depends,  some games load stuff seamlessly while playing,  that's where a ssd really has an advantage,  but most games, nah, outside a few seonds faster loading times... 

generally i still think for gaming SSHDs are ideal, but somehow it never took off (I blame seagate and their pos "SSHDs"... my Toshiba SSHD is still blazing fast, even after 10+ years ... and very rare to find now and if you do, its expensive,  otherwise i woulda bought more lol)

The direction tells you... the direction.

You want the best price/performance? Go used. Sell your 1660 to offset the cost of that purchase. 

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case
