So I been thinkin.
Do I get a 200-250€ used 3060ti/3070 and wait for 5XXX series, or get 4XXX series even though it ain’t that grat?

What’s the rest of your PC? CPU? RAM? PSU? What display do you have (resolution and refresh rate)?
What kind of games do you like to play?
And what’s your budget? There is no 250€ RTX 4000 series :)
See the response to the other comment. Oh shit I do actually gotta get a new PSU, not that what I have rn isn’t good, but it’s pushing limits.
Got a Seasonic Focus PX-650, I should get PX-750 or similar
What the heck kind of build is that? 7900 with 64 GB RAM and a RX 580? With a 650W PSU in a 2023 build, ouch.
I’m running a 5800X3D and RTX 3080 off 650W, but that’s not recommended. For a new build in regards to 4000 and 5000 series I’d 100% grab a 850W one so I wouldn’t have to worry.
5000 series is 2025 unfortunately (at least Nvidia claims that, it should have been late 2024). So you should rather pick up something now instead of letting your build go to waste.
My 3080 can’t reliably push over 100 fps in all games I play at 1440p (240hz display), at least when we’re talking about heavier games. 10 GB VRAM is also on its way out.
If you spend that much on a build I’d probably go RTX 4080. DLSS3 can be worth it, for example in Witcher 3 (with raytracing I get a wonky 40-70 fps in Novigrad. A 4000 series card doubles that with DLSS3, even if input latency might suffer a tiny bit).
If you really want to wait nearly 2 years for a new gen card then at least get a 3070. Even that stutters in a handful of games due to 8 GB VRAM (Diablo 4, Hogwarts Legacy, …), so it’s not a great solution either.
Should you just play older games and not new releases then get whatever.
The 650w PSU is a remnant from my previous r5 3600 + 16gb ddr4 + rtx 3060ti build.
I was gonna go for a short bit without buying a GPU when I sold my 3060ti, but the old GTX 770 I swapped to in meantime broke down, so I just found a cheap RX 580 to at least do something.
4XXX series also turned out to be jebaited, so I haven’t thought of buyin anything until now.
