What's the current sweet spot for graphics cards for performance vs price? Last one I got was a 1070 which gave amazing performance for the price I paid IIRC $600. Would be looking at something similar. Am happy to wait for stock and prices to settle. Will be for gaming, am ok with whatever resolution, it is on a monitor and a lounge tv. Would get a new power supply and then upgrade rest of system later when the dust settles further.

It really does depend on what resolution you will be playing on and whether your monitor can do over 60Hz refresh rate.

 

At around $600, I'd be waiting to see what the lower end cards are like as nothing new has been announced around that price range (lowest is 3060ti at $829)

At present there is nothing in the 3000 series what will fit your budget. that's not to say there wont be, just nothing at the moment.

 

you could probably get a 2060 super for about 600-650 which fits your budget
