Question RTX 3050 vs RTX 4060

[Ethand]

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.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Why don't you pass on a link to the build or the specs to the system like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Logically the RTX4060 is a better buy than the RTX3050 but we'll need to know more(thus the specs) to understand and advise accordingly.

I have a budget of $1100, but I’m looking to spend $1000 to use the rest to buy peripherals. Thinking of getting the RTX 3050 because it is $150 cheaper than the 4060 and then I’ll have $250 to get a new monitor and keyboard and mouse.

CPU: Ryzen 5 8600G
CPU Cooler: Standard Heatsink & CPU Fan
Motherboard: MSI Pro B650-S WIFI
RAM: 16GB DDR5 Kingston Fury Beast 5200MHZ RAM
SSD: 512GB SSD NVME
GPU: RTX 3050 or RTX 4060
PSU: Gamdias Kratos M1-750B 750w Power Supply
Monitor: 60HZ 1080p but might upgrade to 165HZ 1440p in the near future depending on how much I have left after buying the pc.

Depends on what you are using it for but 4060 is better and newer , 3050 is bottom line from those series.
