Out of the 3, I'd side with the AMD card due to drivers. You could get Intel cards but if your title is affected with a glitch/bug, then you're left waiting for Intel to release an update/patch for the issue. Just an FYI, you're not really gaining much if you did go for an RX 7600 XT, it'll feel like a horizontal upgrade path instead of a vertical upgrade path.

Your platform could benefit from a dual channel, tight lantencied, DDR4-3200MHz ram kit as Ryzen platform's on the B450 chipset liked that speed for ram.

my system specs
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I would personally wait till the amd 9060 xt is out

1 because it has a full x16 slot. The other cards listed are running on a x8 slot which can hamper performance on pci 3.0 slot which the b450 has.

2. Newer then the 7600xt.

3. Because it's newer it will have longer driver support.

4. B580 officially support is for b550 boards. It may perform more poorly.

Ouch! This is really slow for your ram speeds. Have you DOCP enabled in the bios? If not, and you turn it on, not only will you get a bump in performance for most tasks, but very specifically for gaming. Can you link the exact mem that you have. If it's rated for 3200/3600 mts, then you are leaving approx 25% performance on the floor, by not turning on DOCP.

Yeah that is quite slow I wonder if it doesn't have xmp on if it doesn't work in xmp 3200 which is what I assume the kit is.

Try running on xmp but turn it down to 2993

Yeah, possibly. OP should turn it on and test. I guess it's possible it's a mixed set of DIMMs, which would default to 2133. So, in that instance, Id then suggest getting a proper 2x kit to take advantage of XMP/DOCP (for asus motherboards).

I would also recommend that you wait for the 9060 XT, it should be out in a few days, so see if you can snipe one on launch day. Also if you have a microcenter nearby, it would be worth checking them out on launch day for one. Otherwise I would look at a RX 6800 XT, RX 7700 XT, 7800 XT or RTX 3080, 4070, 5060 ti as those would get you much more performance. Ive attached the review for the RTX 5060 which includes the RTX 3060, your RX 6600 is about 95% as fast as that RTX 3060. So you would want something in the 115 - 130% mark to get you roughly double the performance of your RX 6600.
