I'm currently using an i7 8700k and I'm looking to upgrade my GPU. My budget is around $370, but I've heard bad things about the 5060 8GB. Ideally, I want something with 8GB to 12GB of memory. I haven't upgraded my graphics card since getting the 1650ti, so any advice on what to get to avoid bottlenecking would be appreciated!

You could also look into getting a used RTX 3060 with 12GB. It's a significant step up from your 1650ti and should pair well with your CPU. Just check for a good deal!
You might want to consider the Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB. It's priced at about $350, and I've found it relatively easy to source. Plus, the extra memory will give you more flexibility in the future when you upgrade your other components.
With your i7 8700k, the 5060 should technically work without bottlenecking, but it’s not the best value since it’s underwhelming for the price. The RX 9060 XT is a solid option with 16GB of RAM, providing much more headroom for future upgrades. Just a heads up, I've seen it around $350, but availability can vary.
