I've recently upgraded from an RTX 3060 to a 5060TI, and I'm noticing a boost in my gaming performance. I'm wondering if adding the 3060 back into my system in another PCI slot would actually improve performance or processing power further. Additionally, how can I check if my PSU and PC can support a second graphics card? Will my games even benefit from this addition?

Unless you have a specific use for it, like a PhysX accelerator, adding the 3060 likely won't improve your gaming experience. The newer cards have dropped some older support, so just keep that in mind.
Generally speaking, adding a second GPU like the 3060 won’t bring much benefit for gaming. The new 50 series cards handle frame generation pretty well, so unless you're specifically using applications that can leverage dual GPUs (like Lossless Scaling), it's probably not worth it.
If you're looking to improve FPS, dual GPU setups can work, but it depends on your motherboard's capabilities. Make sure it can share the PCI lanes properly; otherwise, you won't get any benefits. Do a bit of research on it!
