Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my first PC and I'm on a budget, aiming for under $1200. I've been considering the RTX 5050 for the graphics card, but I've come across some negative reviews. I'm not into competitive gaming; I just want something that can handle casual games like Minecraft and The Sims 4 with tons of mods. Do you think the RTX 5050 is sufficient for that, especially when paired with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU? I want to avoid any bottlenecking. I could share a list of all the parts I'm looking to buy if that would help! Thanks a ton!

The RTX xx50 series typically lacks power and isn’t always worth the investment. You might want to look into the 5060 or 9060XT instead, as they offer better performance for the price.
I was eyeing the 5060 TI 16GB, but how much better is it really? I’ve noticed the price is pretty steep at the moment.
