    Question RTX 3050 vs RTX 4060

    I’m looking to buy a pc for about $1000 which has a ryzen 5 8600g and 16gb RAM. I wanted to know whether I should get an RTX 3050 which is included in the build or add $150 to get the RTX 4060? I’m buying the pc to use for video editing/motion graphics as well as some gaming.
