I'm looking to improve my gaming setup and have a few questions. I just purchased an XG27ACS monitor for gaming at 1440p. I'm planning to play mainly eSports titles, but I'll dabble in AAA games from time to time. My current PSU is 550 watts, and I'm also intending to use this PC for some productivity tasks. I'm curious if 12GB of VRAM is going to be sufficient. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Just so you know, I was using a 1050 Ti before this.

Stick with the 5060 Ti and think about upgrading your CPU as well, especially since you're into eSports.
Honestly, for eSports games, your CPU might hold you back a bit with today's standards. You might want to consider upgrading it, too.
The 5060 Ti should serve you well. The 5070 might be a bit overkill unless you’re planning on upgrading other components soon.
eSports titles can really benefit from a better CPU. If you haven't already, swapping to something like a 5600 could give you a nice performance boost. I used to have a similar setup—5600 with an RX 6600—and I was hitting at least 165 FPS on games like Valorant and CSGO.
I'd go with the 5060 Ti 16GB. It’s a solid option for gaming, especially with DLSS and Frame Generation features which will help you keep up with future titles.
