I'm currently in a bit of a pickle with my PC. My RX 6600 has seen better days and is pretty much dead, leaving me in need of a new GPU. The only one I can find in my area is the RTX 5050, which is priced at $285. Since I'm on a tight budget and can't really find any other options locally, I'm wondering if this is a decent buy or if I should keep searching for a better deal.

Given what you’ve said, it sounds like you don’t have many alternatives right now. Just make sure to do a little bit of research and see if you can find something better before jumping on the 5050. You might find a good comparison online to help gauge your options.
$285 seems pretty steep for the RTX 5050. I think it should max out at around $250. I'd suggest looking around a bit more before committing to this one.
You might want to check online. I just saw an RX 6800 going for around $200 on eBay, which could be a better deal if you can wait for shipping.
I can see you're in a tight spot if this is your only option. The 5050 isn't a huge upgrade over older models, but if you're really stuck, it might just work for you. Keep an eye out for any local deals or free shipping options, though!
For just $15 more, you could grab an RTX 5060 from Best Buy, and that would definitely give you better performance. Plus, they offer free shipping, so it might be worth considering rather than settling for the 5050.
