I found a cheap RX 5500 XT 8GB graphics card and a similarly priced RX 6500 XT 4GB. I tried watch some videos on Youtube comparing these two cards but am still unsure which one to pick for my build.

 

The budget of the whole build needs to be under $550 WITH the graphics card included, so can someone help me out here?  Or if you have a better GPU recommendation that would be nice.

Neither is good, get a used 5700 XT
