550 what? USD? If so I don't think that's a great deal. In Australia I can find a few on eBay for about $700-$750 which I think is around $480 USD.

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).

I love Photography (Using a Canon 60D)

Love F1, my favourite team is Ferrari and my favourite driver is Leclerc

buy a 4070

 

more vram and half the power draw albiet same performance for alot more than what a used 3080 usually goes for (~350$)

 

a used card at that price would be a 6950xt or 3090

Are you having issues with the card you have now?

What are your system specs? A gpu upgrade may not make sense if your cpu is the bottleneck, so knowing the specs would help.
