Need a new GPU, what should I do? I just had to resell my 7800XT cause my dumbass went and fully trusted that PcPartPicker said that it would fit with my PSU and Radiator in the case I chose and it ended up being too big.

I can choose a 9060XT but I'm not quite sure on performance and longevity with the 128-bit memory bus. Unfortunately for me though it is my cheapest option and does come with 16gb cause fuck getting an 8gb, I'd rather kms. I could get a new 7800XT but the only one available under 700$ is an ASUS Dual and I really haven't trusted ASUS for years now.
I can maybe go up a little bit for a 9070, or I could stick with a 7700XT. Idk,what should I really choose? I'm a canuckfag so everything listed is from 490$ CAD to about 650$, cheapest 9070 that'll fit is 900$ but that's stretching it.

If the choice is between a 9060 XT and getting a new case. Get a new case.
I've got the 16GB XT. It's alright better than the options nvidia had at the same price/performance, it's a capable enough card but has drawbacks, changed power controls, no bios flashing yet, if you use rocm, some tools have yet to be updated for the XT despite it being compatible.

Seriously, just buy a new case if you're the kind of faggot who uses one. The 9070 at the MSRP/RRP you can't buy it for, that's the card you could exchange it for seriously but, good luck finding one at MSRP 4 months later.

should be ok for LLM, bit slower than the equivalent rtx but still good for the money
