probably due to the shortage of gpu that gives rise in the pricing?

Huh ?

I thought bottle neck at my CPU?

Q6600 is like 10 years back.

If upgrading GPU will solve it of course I will go for this option.

Anyone share insight?

Gaming Bottleneck is more on GPU rather than CPU.
Your 10yo Quad Core @ 3.2Ghz will still provide enough juice with all 4x Core being Utilize.

If you are uncertain you can go ask your friends to lend you their more powerful GPU for a day to test it out on your system for CPU Bottleneck.

Ok. My gut feeling is correct. No point changing GPU alone. Does little to help.

Hmm.
In this case with your budget.
Go Intel G4560 and Nvidia 1050.
G4560 + MOBO + RAM ~$300
Nvidia 1050 ~$200
