I'm looking to upgrade my graphic card to pair with my Ryzen 7 5700. I was considering the 5060, but I'm unsure if it will fit in my 280mm case and stay within my budget of $350 to $400. I'd appreciate any advice on compatible options!

Yep, just make sure to check the specific PSU you have since some are not reliable enough for a new GPU. Always better to verify!
If you're looking for a solid choice, the 9060XT 16GB is a great option. The PowerColor Reaper is 200mm, the Sapphire Pulse is 240mm, and the ASRock Challenger is 249mm — all should fit in your case! Just double-check your dimensions to be sure.
Keep in mind that the Ryzen 7 5700 consumes about 65W. So, honestly, you can choose just about any GPU, except maybe the 5090. Just be cautious if you have a prebuilt PC, as the PSU quality can be a concern. If your PSU is decent, the 9060XT 16GB should work great, and a 9070 or 9070XT could fit as well without issues!
You could also consider the 5070 or stick with the 9060XT 16GB. Both should run well with your setup, provided your PSU is of good quality.
Totally agree, and just make sure to have at least 10% power headroom for stability.
