I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but

I'm new to this and I need help in upgrade my pc. it's currently 2 years old, it's something I bought before.

My Current setup is
MOBO a520m ds3h
CPU R5 5600g
RAM 8x2 RAM
PSU CV450

I'm thinking of getting the Galax GeForce RTX 3050 EX 8GB GDDR6 128bit Graphics Card(35NSL8MD6YEX) with a CX750 PSU

Am I doing this right? I did some research and majority of the posts I saw recommend 6600xt for r5 5600g but I want the NVDIA software.
3060 12GB is too steep of a price for me since I have to upgrade my PSU. 6600 non-XT and the 3050 is what I can afford right now (I don't know their market value but there's a sale on going right now)

(dollar prices converted via google)
PSU
CX750 - 4,000 PHP / $68.19
CX650 - 3,600 PHP / $61.37
GPU
RTX 3050 8GB - 13,819 PHP / $235.58
RTX 3060 8GB GIGABYTE - 16,591 PHP / $282.83
RX 6600 Sapphire Pulse - 13,495 PHP / $230.05

Leaning towards rx 6600 because its faster than 3050 (someone said on another forum) can sacrifice the NVDIA Software if 6600 is truly my best option (saw some reddit post its always R5 5600g and RX 6600 (non-xt and xt)

I mostly play gacha games but I want to try monhun and souls game, any help is appreciated!
I also use LG 42 inch CINEMA 3D Smart TV LA6500 as my monitor, I would love to play games on it full screen (I usually play everything windowed)

IMO would go with the 6600 over the 3050. In relation to non-ray tracing cards you will be better off with the AMD version. A 3050 is not going to offer any significant benefit when trying to ray trace with it. The 6600 benchmarks significantly stronger for 1080 performance.

It would be a gamble because you PSU is not a particularly good unit, but the CV450 'might' be enough for it if it is also only 2yo. I wouldn't keep it in place long, but might be enough to save up towards something better than a CX model (which actually IS better than the CV).

Does the brand differ or should I go with what I listed? (Sapphire Pulse)
and yes I'm planning on upgrading the PSU to CX650 with the card

In relation to the particular model the first thing to consider may be different for you. It is worth thinking about how it is going to look in the build (if you can even see it) as well as its particular performance.
I think I'm good with the look for the build.

As for the performance I always see R5 5600g paired with RX6600 so I guess that's good?
but I'm thinking about my mobo since its only PCIE 3.0 while 6600 is 4.0, is that okay?
