reduce the cost of the motherboard and try to get a RX 6700XT. its priced around(if not lower than) 3060 ti but its MUCH better than 3060ti crap. it has 12gb vram so youre not stuck w 8gb of ur current rx 6600(or more costy 3060ti/3070/3070ti)

id personally get rx 6700xt if i had that much budget lol....  its a beast

.. maybe wait for 7600xt.... or rx7700. but amd might charge more for that..

get rx 6700xt.. its a killer gpu.

xrx rx 6700xt is around 350usd the last time i checked.. u might wanna check it out... its wayyy better than rx6600xt... unpess youre tight on the budget... but dont overspend on other stuff if your gpu will get the impact.
