RTX 2060 Super VS Arc A750. Which one should I pair with R5 5600 as a first time PC user?

This is my first PC build and I was wondering which one should I get as a first time PC user. 

I would play FPS multilayer games like Warzone, CS2, Valorant and I have some productive workloads as well which require me to use softwares like Adobe premier pro, after effects.

So which one would be the most value for money GPU for me?

How much would you be spending on the two cards? The RTX 2060 Super isn't being produced anymore, so would you be getting it used? Or is there new stock available in your region for some reason?

The Arc A750 and 2060 super are kind of in the same price point in my region. I don't know how the 2060 super is available but it is available here.

Okay, but what is the price point? Are they used or refurbished cards?

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

New Cards as far as I'm concerned. And the price of both of the cards are around 250-260 US dollers.

as a first time user:

Get the NVidia card.  But around 250?  You should be able to find a used 3060, I'd expect if you tried.  

 

Intel cards are great (I have one in my work PC) but they've got some growing to do before they're going to be suggested for first timers.

Intel ARC's take a bit of tuning and sometimes some advanced setup to unlock their full potential, so I would definitely advise an Nvidia or AMD card for a first-timer

If you can take the time to learn it, go with arc. It’ll be stronger. But for a first timer, and if you want it to be easy breasy, go with Nvidia

Arc is decent now, I'd get it since it's around 6600 pricing 

Sparkle ORC OC Arc A750 8 GB Video Card (SA750C-8GOC) - PCPartPicker

if you're not playing AAA games like starfield or playing GTA V then it's a good choice 

it's even good for premiere pro

Learn it!! 

What do you mean by learning it? 

I think most of the work is done by the team with their driver support.

Yeah I saw that video from Gamer's Nexus, that's why I kept A750 in my list.

Most of it is, but you do need to know how to use technology well to work around its … unique features. At least just know how to reinstall drivers quickly.
