Getting annoyed at different opinions is childish, there's no two ways about that. Sorry.
Once again. You accuse me of what I've never done. The only nuisance is being misunderstood.
It'll help you formulate your point better.
No, sorry, this is beyond insulting. Even in my state, I remain totally capable of ELI5. The problem is on YOUR end.

9600X is a solid choice. Very much approved! Enjoy your brand new gaming monster!
Missed this one. Enjoy :)
Thank you both, I will :)

I would suggest upgrading your CPU to the 5800X3D if you can still get your hands on one. Even 2nd hand.
There are no new 5800X3D anymore. It was heavy overpriced anyway, same way 7800X3D/9800X3D are now (at least 2000 PLN/500$ for 7800X3D).
On second hand market I see some 5800X3D, but most of them are for 1300-1600 PLN, and that's a price range of a new R7 9700X (1500 PLN).

I'd wait to see what the 16GB RX 9060 looks like at the very least over the the RX 7600.
Or wait for the 9060 series, it's just around the corner.
Would love to do so, but when I see all this madness going around RDNA4 and Blackwell real prices I don't believe 9060 will have similar to RX 7600 price anytime soon.
In my country RX 9070 is constantly more expensive than 7900 XT was. And it's not faster, not even same performance. Same about RTX 5070 - performance of 4070 Ti but much higher prices. All of them are nowhere near MSRP, VAT included or not.

Now. If RX 7600 (or 6600 XT) can achieve 48-51 fps in Witcher 3 and 45-48 fps in Metro: Exodus, all that on high setting, I will be fine playing some Pillars of Eternity. Really. I promise. This one I'm sure :)

Get a 42 inch LG OLED C5 if you can spare the cash.
Woah! 42 inch? Isn't it too much if I use 80 cm deep desk?
@Edit
I don't see any LG C5 model available in my country. Older LG C4 only.

The perfomance isn't even why I'd wait it's fsr 2/3 vs 4 especially on a lower tier card that im guessing you want to last. FSR4 is soo much better up there maybe even slightly better than DLSS3 SR.

It's your money though and if that isn't worth the wait or the likely increased cost only you can answer. I'd honestly rather have a 3060 12GB just for DLSS at 4k which even on performance mode with transformer looks better than FSR 2/3 quality.

The 5 series oleds aren't out yet afiak eta is by the end of this month in the states but other territories could be later.

Should be good, they're paper thin! And the 2025 models juuuust came out, they will probably show up in stores soon. Might be a great opportunity to get a still amazing 2024 model on a very nice price, too.

RTINGS just got one and theirs hasn't arrived yet, so they're going to be reviewing it soon. The 2024 model (and even 2023 really) already exceed a reference IPS monitor's color gamut with perfect contrast, you can expect it to be slightly better than this:
