The title. I've been delaying long enough and I can't really wait anymore. I need a new GPU. I could really use some advice.

Right now I have a GTX 1060 3 GB with a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU and 32 GB RAM. Mostly I use it for gaming in 1080p but it's not impossible I'll eventually increase it (but unlikely).

I'll accept suggestions outside of my options but keep in mind the prices in my country are different. I'm not looking to buy used for various reasons (lack of warranty is one).

My options are:

RTX 3060 12 GB (290 euros)

RTX 4060 8 GB (330 euros)

RX 7600 XT 12 GB (380 euros)

RX 6750 XT 12 GB (400 euros)

RX 6700 XT 12 GB (420 euros)

RTX 4060ti 16 GB (480 euros)

I was really trying to keep it way below 400 euros. The 7600 XT is already a stretch but I could be convinced to raise the budget to the upper 400s for something with really good bang for buck.

I appreciate the help

UPDATE: In the end I decided to go for the RX 6750 XT for 405 euros but, as is my habit, I decided I should sleep on it. And thank god I did. The next day I went online and had already decided to buy it when I saw it was the store's birthday and they were doing some nice discounts and the 6750 was at 360 euros (limited to stock). I immediately bought. What are the odds?! She'll be here in a couple of days.

I know you said you don't want to buy second hand, but if I were you I'd buy a 6800 xt second hand. That's by far the best bang per buck you'll get. I've been buying second hand gpu's for over 10 years and have never had any trouble. Just don't buy any dirty, overclocked or used for mining cards and you should be fine. I already looked on OLX and there are a few between €350 and €400. If you really want to buy new I'd go for the 7600 xt.

Good luck!

Yeah, I did. Because things break and I'm not taking that chance. I also buy used stuff, but I'm not buying anything I can't live with it breaking on day 1. And 400 euros are not peanuts here.
