Hey folks! I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm considering getting the RTX 5060 with 8GB of memory. Here's my current setup: I'm running a Ryzen 5 4600G, have an RX 580 2048SP, Biostar A320MH 2.0 motherboard, and I also have 8GB of single-channel RAM at 2666MHz. Additionally, I've got a 1TB SATA SSD along with a 512GB SATA SSD. What do you think about the RTX 5060 for my build? Is it a good choice, or should I look at something else?

Honestly, the RTX 5060 isn't the best value for what you'll pay. You might be better off looking for the RTX 5060 Ti, which is often available for just a bit more or the RX 9060 XT that can be found around the same price point. By the way, you should really consider getting a second stick of RAM to go dual channel—it'll help boost your performance! Also, I checked, and it seems the prices have gone up recently, especially in the US.
I hear you on pricing—unfortunately, I'm not in the US. Here where I am, an RTX 5060 costs about 23,000 PHP, which equals roughly 380 bucks, which is the usual price around here.
