Okay, well I'll look into it, definitely, and for the time being it does all that I need it to, I just add small upgrades here and there. Just a question in regards to storage, I've just bought a samsung evo 970 1tb m.2 nvme, to replace my hdd which is getting very slow and migrate my os onto it. Will it fit into my motherboard? It says it has a m.2 socket
That's an M.2 slot for your SSD ... right above the PCIe slot for your gpu. It's the one with the shiny heatsink for your SSD.

Nah not that one, but that's good it does. My current motherboard which I have now, z270 - d3h?

Looking to a future upgrade, but with prices all over the place and stocks limited it's hard to get a reading. All prices in AUD. I'm also running a pcie 3.0 motherboard, unsure if that makes a difference with the pcie 4.0 cards
Budget up to $800, but preferably $700 or under. On another note 2060s are around $500-$550
The candidates are:
6600 xt: $595
3060: $640
6650 xt: $695
3060 ti: $790
Cheers

is that before/after taxes? damn you, even australians have cheaper cards than us Europeans
