Budget (including currency): 

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 system with a 1060 Igbo using a 550w Corsair psu

And I'm looking into a possible upgrade, I was recommended for best bang for the buck upgrade would be to go up to a R 5 5600x and a Radeon Rx 6700xt. But where I live now I can't seem to find an Rx 6700xt, it's either really rare(like shops don't stock them or FB market place scalps the prices)  or way too high prices so would a Rx 6600 be comparable? Or is it a significant performance drop, or is ther any other cards to be recommended to upgrade to that may be easier to find for a fair price either from team red or team green I don't mind. Also if I make this upgrade would I need to upgrade the power supply aswell?

 

And lastly should I be looking through FB market place? Or is it better and more trustable brand-new because I don't know what I'm doing and I've never bought off FB before

 

 

 

Budget (including currency): 5000-8000 THB

(150-220 USD) The Less the better on my wallet

I don't have too much advice to offer, but I did read that an RX 6600 is still a good upgrade from a GTX 1060. The RX 6600 is somewhere between an RTX 3050 and an RTX 3060, and closer to the 3060 than the 3050 at that. The 3060 is much better than the 1060, so you'll find the RTX 6600 to be a nice upgrade.

Your power supply is pretty suitable for your intended upgrade, no worries there.

I would recommend the 5600 non-X because you still get the benefit of a large L3 cache and it's usually even cheaper.

If you're unfamiliar with the used market, there are a few things to look out for. Best practice is to meet somewhere public, if you can get a spot with a power outlet to bring your PC and test the graphics card yourself, that's the best case scenario.
