I think its a reasonable upgrade. There are people who ran a 3600 with a 5700xt back then, which the A770 would be in a ball park from (faster)

Thanks! I'm not dead set on an Intel card but I had trouble understanding which AMD cards are comparable. Can you suggest any AMD cards to look into around the same price/performance point?
The A770 is similar to a RX 6600xt/RX 6700 depending on situation. For the price point, a lot of people would look into the RX 6700 XT. It has the best performance of the <350$ gpus with a reasonable vram ammount (12GB)
How much is an a750? If you're going with 8gb anyway I'd save the money and get the a750. The 16gb variant of the a770 is the big draw of that card IMHO.
You should look at benchmarks in 2 weeks between the 770 and 4060 after it is released. Your 3600 is going to hurt performance if you buy really high end. In today's money, the price of the 4060 matches the original price of the 1060 6GB.
Beyond a new GPU, I would suggest building a whole new computer. If I can partially guess, I would say the 4 core i3 121000 would beat your 3600. I do know that the 12100 matches the 6 core i7 8700K.
One option is buy the best GPU you have extra money to spend on, and then in a year buy build a Ryzen 8000 system when those get released and then put your new GPU in your next system.
To give you an idea about performance, the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti.
Do you have a link for that 4060ti V 1080ti benchmark? Is it a considerable improvement FPS wise?
Unfortunately I'm not able to advise, but I'll keep an eye as I'm in a similar place!
I would be careful going for Intel Arc cards on Linux, check these benchmarks. It's a bit out of date, and I've heard Intel's working on some new performance improvements soon, but right now Arc is not as good as AMD on Linux. Hopefully that changes though.
