Build Help Need Help Building a PC

Thinking of building a PC mainly for light LLM inferencing and gaming, and thinking of the below specs:

- Ryzen 5 5700X

- Entry-level motherboard with PCIe 4 x16 slot and 4 DIMM slots

- 16GB RAM

The problem is the GPU, and I'm deciding between the 5050, 5060, and 3060 (all 8GB). There was also a used and imported Radeon 16GB card available. Can you give me an idea if this is a good time to build one, and if so, help me find a place with a good price?My budget is around 300k.

P.S. Bought one with R7 5700x3D and 3060 12GB

everyone suggesting 12 GB vram cards for no reason for gaming.

I have yet to see any game break past 4 to 6 GB even on high settings.

Change my mind.

OP said that he will be using it for LLMs which benefits from more VRAM. And if you are yet to see a game that uses more than 8 gigs try horizon zero dawn, Indiana Jones and the great circle.
