I'm planning to build a new PC using the 5060 Ti graphics card, and I want to pair it with a 1440p monitor. Will this setup work well? Specifically, I'll be playing games like Minecraft and some simulations. Can the 5060 Ti 8GB handle 1440p?

I wouldn't recommend going for the 8GB version if you're aiming for 1440p. It's better to invest in the 16GB model of the 5060 Ti or even the 9060 XT to get better performance.
My experience with the 3060 Ti shows it can manage 1440p just fine, so the 5060 Ti should be similar. Just don't expect to max out every setting.
While it can handle 1440p, the performance is going to vary based on what game you're playing. For well-optimized games, you should be okay, but expect some struggles with less optimized ones. Eight gigs of VRAM just isn't enough for many titles at that resolution.
Honestly, for a smooth experience, I would suggest looking for a 16GB model or something like a 5070 if you can find it on sale. The 8GB might limit you sooner than you think.
You can definitely run 1440p with the 5060 Ti 8GB, but keep in mind that you might have to lower the graphics settings for the best performance. Games like Minecraft should be fine, but for more demanding titles, you might not hit ultra settings without some compromises.
