I'm on the hunt for a new or used Nvidia graphics card from either the 30, 40, or 50 series, ideally around £400. It seems like my best bet for a new card might be the 16GB version of the 5060 Ti, but I'm really looking for something with at least 12GB of VRAM. For some context, my current setup includes a Ryzen 5600, an RX 6650 XT, a UD750GM power supply, 32GB of RAM running at 3600, a Prime B550M-A WiFi II motherboard, and a SN570 NVMe SSD. Any recommendations?

Have you considered going for an RX 9060 XT with 16GB? It offers similar performance to the 5060 Ti but tends to be more budget-friendly. Just a thought!
If you're set on Nvidia, the 5060 Ti 16GB is a solid choice at that price point. It’s got good balance for gaming and streaming, plus that VRAM will definitely help with graphics-intensive tasks. Just keep an eye out for used options, they can sometimes save you a few bucks without skimping on performance!
I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm really leaning towards Nvidia. I stream sometimes, and their NVENC encoder is something I really want to utilize. I've had my fair share of issues with AMD cards in the past, so I'm looking to stick with Nvidia this time.
