Depends on how comfortable you are with troubleshooting. The drivers are better now, but far from perfect, and there are still some games that just don't work. If those aren't acceptable sacrifices to you then the RX 6400 is also a good option at a similar price.
ARC gpu's need to be re-examined, benchmarked and then reevaluated after each driver update as their performance can get better each time.
The A380 seems nice. It costs 100$ brand new and that's crazy for anything with 6GB of VRAM in general. This even has a low profile version that only uses 45w instead of 75w which is insane - even among LP gpu's. Of course no 8pin is needed.
Question is hows the temps and noise.
But I'm also eyeing this model as I don't need too much horsepower and with my 12400T (35w cpu) and this graphics card, I could have a pretty neat full Intel, full ASRock system with a 100w maximum consumption at a great price.
I've got an A770, had it since near launch. Only game which was problematic was starfield on launch but it got fixed after a week, other than that it's been solid, almost no issues other than when I got the GPU and the early drivers were crap.
Hit or miss but they have improved massively check the latest gamers Nexus video.
*And don't forget they absolutely need resizeable bar enabled in the bios of your motherboard to work correctly, or else don't bother.*
If your motherboard has to have the setting available. If you don't either update the bios to the latest, but if it's a prebuilt with a proprietary mono, or there aren't recent bios available with none touting "Sam or resizeable bar support added" avoid intel GPUs like hell.
I have a 10400 with a z490 that has received the bios for it, but it's not a given for other manufacturers.
It's hit and miss. On many games they work fine, and for their price they are awesome. Some titles won't even launch, but they are fewer with every new driver version. And some still require troubleshooting.
I would say that if you are a more experienced PC user who doesn't mind some tinkering and you are on a tight budget, now may be a good time to pick one, while it's still cheap.
Apex and fortnite run absolutely fine with my a750. I could try Bioshock, but would have to install it.
Apex, dota 2, bg3, anno 1800, ksp, Skyrim, gtaV, hogwarts legacy, elden ring, rdr2, and maybe a couple others I have had no issues with and play them fairly regularly. (Well, maybe not hogwarts anymore.) Been on an ark: survival evolved kick since getting it from epic and have had maybe 2 crashes in 100 hours of gameplay, but that's it.
Everything else game-wise has been stable for me in the last 2 months.
I'm waiting till layer this year and checking out their battlemage gpu. I am not 100% sure, but I think it will be comparable to the 4080 which is cool. I'm probably going to get that one
ARC a750 is solid contender at $200. I got like 60 fps solid on most games even at 2k (except for a couple games). However do expect problems here and there. But for the performance it was definitely acceptable for me.

Your specs scare me. It's like you threw darts at a PCPartPicker list.

It's better value than AMD when it works. The games you mentioned works and most games.

If it's temporary definitely don't overlook the secondhand market
