I'm considering an upgrade from my current 3060 GPU to a 5060ti, as I've heard it's a solid improvement. I want to know if my CPU, the i5 12400f, will be sufficient to support this new GPU. I'm not very experienced with building PCs, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've seen that in some places, 5070s are actually cheaper than the 5060ti. You might want to consider getting the 5070 instead for better performance if it's available in your area!
I'm also curious where you've found those prices—I'm thinking about getting the 5070 too!
With your i5 12400f, you might hit some CPU bottlenecks, especially in games, since I've experienced that with a similar card. Just a heads-up that at 1080p, the CPU could limit the performance of the 5060ti in certain titles.
So, would the 5070 be a better pick compared to the 5060ti then?
