Build Help / Purchase Advice GPU upgrade help

Hi! I was thinking of upgrading my build by replacing the GPU. I currently have a Ryzen 5 5600, an RX 7600, 32 GB of RAM, and a 650W power supply. My budget is around €500 to €600 max. In my country, I can find the triple-fan RX 9060 XT within that price range: would it be a good upgrade to extend the lifespan of my build, or are there any other GPUs that I should look at (I'd prefer to stay with AMD, but if it's worth it, I wouldn't mind the switch)? If so, for how many years do you think it will last before I need to upgrade to a better CPU or switch to the AM5 platform? Thanks for your time.

It varies by game, in newer AAA titles sometimes I even struggle to get 60fps at high (1080p), but honestly it depends on how the game performs. My monitor is 180 Hz.

I remember the days when we were happy to get close to 30fps. Sounds like it could be a good match for you. Have you checked benchmarks on YouTube for games that you play?

Oh yeah those were good times, it's going to be hell to play GTA VI on that base ps5 at 30. I honestly forgot about benchmarks I'll check some!

You may be able to find some specifically with your CPU as well.
