GPU advice on 1080 p 144 Hz gaming

Hi to everyone! This is a build that includes already plenty of advices from this forum, but I still have a doubt on the GPU.

My use - case is 1080 p gaming up to 144 Hz, I intend to play mainly FPS games such as warzone, BF, EFT, etc but I would also like to play Cyberpunk at decent fps.

My budget is about 1000 Euros excluding VAT, but I am a little bit flexible. This build contains a rx 5600XT but I received suggestions on the 2060 instead. Which one of the two is better?

So far I got the following points:

RTX 2060 --> Ray Tracing, more reliable (?)
RX 5600 XT --> Better performance in some games, Free-Sync (I have a AOC monitor that supports it, but it is not currently listed as Ge Force compatible), some driver issues or model specific issues such as noise (paired with the fact that I cannot choose the exact model here), price advantage;

Another small issue: is it better the wifi B550 board with no wifi card or the non-wifi B550 board with the intel wireless 6 - BT 5 card? Price is in favor of the second option but I'm not sure of the differences between the boards aside from wifi connectivity.

Here's the build:

😭 I guess waiting is the best choice

Do you know when they will be available on the PCS store?

3050 or 3050Ti isn't released yet - should be announced by Nvidia at the end of this month. So you'd be looking for around 1-2 months until it gets in retail stock.

About GPU - 5600 XT has many BIOS and driver stability issues - all the internet is full of complains so I'd choose 2060. In fact, I've just pulled the trigger myself for my 1080p 144Hz - also picked 3600X and 2060.

TBH there are way too many Asus B550 boards so it's hard to choose. Motherboard with Wifi doesn't have Bluetooth which I need so I've chosen mobo without wifi and the Intel AX200 wifi which also has a Bluetooth.

Assuming your monitor is AOC 24G2U (just guessing) - it is a FreeSync monitor. While G-Sync compatibility is not validated for this monitor, you can still use it with Nvidia cards.

As such, Nvidia graphics card owners should be able to get just as much out of the 24G2U as those with AMD cards – although I should note its FreeSync support will only kick in if the frame rate is above 48fps on this particular screen (the same as the C24G1), so you may still see some screen tearing if games are running below that. This is the case with all G-Sync Compatible monitors, though (all of which function within their original FreeSync ranges), so if you want to be sure of getting that smooth, tear-free gaming experience regardless of how fast your game’s running, then you’ll need to shell out for a more expensive full-fat G-Sync screen.

Just do a quick internet research and you'll quickly find out if you can use it with Nvidia.

2060 is a great card, but the 3050/60 are meant to be cheaper. You’d be doing yourself a disservice to buy a 2060 instead

I would strongly, STRONGLY reiterate this, don't buy a 2060, it's incredibly expensive for poor performance vs the 3000 series.
