I'm considering upgrading my current GPU from a GTX 1650 to an almost brand new RTX 5060 Ti with 12GB (though I've heard it might actually have 16GB) for about $255.15 (15,000 PHP). The seller is switching to AMD, which is why they're selling it. I'm worried about potential bottlenecking between my Ryzen 7 5700X and the new GPU. Is this a good purchase, or should I look for something else? I could really use some advice!

You shouldn't worry about bottlenecking with that GPU and CPU combo. Most setups today don't really experience bottlenecks unless you're using components that are a good 5 generations apart. Upgrading the CPU would definitely improve performance, but not enough to skip on this GPU purchase.
If you're seriously getting a 5060 Ti with 16GB for 15K PHP and it’s in good condition, that's an insane steal! You could easily resell it for 20K and probably even get 23K pretty fast. Just make sure it’s legit and watch out for any signs that it’s too good to be true.
Just double-check that the 5060 Ti has 16GB and not 12GB. But honestly, $250 is a sweet deal! Definitely worth considering if it checks out.
Yeah, it sounds a bit too good to be true! The price for a brand new one is usually around 18K, so be cautious.
