Yeah, even before you posted this I had figured out that the 4060 was going to be my best bet, because it was comparable to a 7600 or 6750 and it had a pretty low power requirement, which is great for me. Although, on a picture of a 4060 on Amazon, it appears like it has a 8 pin, but on technical.city it has a 8 pin + 6 pin. Just in case, will the 4060 come with an adapter?

I think that 4060 is just an 8pin so you should be plenty fine, tech city can be wrong sometimes, best bet is to look up MSIs website

System specs:

 

 

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D [-30 PBO all core]

GPU: Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT NITRO+ [1050mV, 2.8GHz core, 2.6Ghz mem]

Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB 32GB 6000MHz CL32 DDR5

Storage: 2TB SN850X, 1TB SN850 w/ heatsink, 500GB P5 Plus (OS Storage)

Case: 5000D AIRFLOW

Cooler: Thermalright Frost Commander 140

PSU: Corsair RM850e

Will it matter if my slot is PCI 4 X16, but the 4060 is x8? Is the performance difference negligible?

I am just rather worried if I am getting the wrong product.

It is normal for new entry/midrange cards to only have 8 lanes, the 7600 does as well.

Especially with GDDR6X, the memory speed and bandwidth is fine on 8 lanes, only issue would be is if you hit higher than 8GB usage for VRAM, but you can just turn down some settings in that case

Start worrying

There is no 4060 that does PCIE 4 X16

 

 

PCIE 4 X8 is as fast as PCIE 3 X16, which causes an RTX 4090 and 12700KF to lose 1.4% performance at 1080p in Rainbow Six Siege.

 

You will only get 350fps instead of 355fps, which will cause you to lose most matches against comatose hospital patients who are not limited to the lower PCIE bandwidth
