I'm currently running an i7 8700K CPU paired with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and I'm considering upgrading from my GTX 1080 GPU. Would a 9060XT with 16GB be a solid choice for my setup?

It depends on your gaming resolution. If you’re gaming at 1080p, you might experience some bottlenecking. Just keep that in mind!
The combination should work just fine! The 8700K is still capable of delivering good FPS in most games, especially if you ever decide to overclock. Even if there's a bit of bottleneck, it should be manageable.
While the 8700K is getting a bit dated, it should handle the 9060XT without major issues. If you’re looking to upgrade piece by piece, go for the GPU, but keep in mind that you might want to consider a full rig upgrade in the future.
