/r/buildapc - Planning on building a computer but need some advice? This is the place to ask!

Looking to buy a new GPU. Here's a bit of info:

I don't need anything special as I only have a Ryzen 5 3400g, 16gb of ddr4 RAM, and a 1080p 165hz monitor. My options are the RTX 3050 6gb and the RX 6600 8gb that are priced $230 and $260 respectively in my region.

Now here's the actual question; which one would I buy if I planned on recording and gaming at the same time? I'm not planning on playing anything too intensive (mainly Minecraft, Valorant, maybe Minecraft with shaders.) The RX 6600 is marginally better but the RTX 3050 has NVENC which could help when recording and gaming at the same time. There's also the question of would an RX 6600 even be worth it when paired with a Ryzen 5 3400g in 1080p gaming?

Another requirement is video editing. I'm going to be doing a lot of video editing with it so I need to know which is better for the job as well.

Genuinely not sure which one to pick, please help.
