Also avoid buying AMD cards for Hashcat, or really research the subject (benchmarks and "PCIe atomics" especially) if you absolutely want to.
See for example:

"Vega will overheat and throttle very quick"
"The power consumption is half of what killed Vega. Unless you’re water cooled, you’re guaranteed to overheat within a minute or two. Stability is nonexistent in a large chunk of AMD cards."
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7407.html
"Just make sure you control the thermals.. they have the potential to be extremely power hungry and prone to overheating."
"If money isn't an issue and you need that GPU for hashcracking, get an NVidia."

Etc etc.
TLDR: check Hashcat benchmarks for 1, 2 or 3 nVidia cards that you can get for that 600€ budget
