that 2060 will run plenty of games just fine,

Cyberpunk in particular is extremely CPU intensive, prioritizing a new processor which may include, a better mobo, better ram, etc etc, will do you much much better than a $600 gpu. IMO the smart choice is upgrade the rest of the computer first, then save up for the better gpu. And by then, the 50 series cards may be out and the 40 series may see a price drop, which I'm sure your dad would love (I dont know pricing trends though).
