I'm about to build a new PC with a Ryzen 5 5600X and 16GB of RAM, but I'm having a tough time deciding on a graphics card. I found the RTX 5050, and it seems like a fantastic option since it's affordable, the latest generation, and a decent upgrade from my current GTX 1650. Do you think I should go for it, or should I look at other GPU options?

If that's what fits your budget, then the RTX 5050 will work. However, if you have an extra $20, you might want to check out the RX 9060 XT with 8GB. It's a solid upgrade. If you can stretch your budget a bit more to around $350–$400, consider the RX 9060 XT with 16GB for even better performance.
I agree! I think the RX 9060 XT is definitely worth it over the 5050.
