I'm planning to swap out my GTX 1650 for an RTX 5060 and wanted to get some advice. I've done a bit of research, but I'd love to hear what others think I should consider before making this upgrade.

This upgrade is solid, but if you're using an older CPU, like for example, playing at 1080p, you might run into some bottlenecking issues. It's good to keep that in mind!
About your pre-built system, the motherboard can make a difference. Just double-check compatibility, especially if it’s of an unusual model. But usually, as long as the card fits and the PSU is adequate, you should be alright.
Make sure your power supply can handle the upgrade. The RTX 5060 draws significantly more power than the 1650, so you might need a stronger PSU.
