I'm in the process of building a full white PC and need some guidance on which GPU to go for. I'm considering a white 5060 Ti, priced at 589 CAD, but it's got a delivery date in April, which is a bit of a wait. Alternatively, there's a white 9060 XT available for 679 CAD that can arrive next week. Most of my gaming revolves around War Thunder and similar titles that aren't overly demanding in terms of VRAM. I'm currently on an AM4 setup and plan to upgrade to an R7 5800XT soon. I would really appreciate any advice! (Just a note: I'm upgrading from an R5 2600 and GTX 1070.)

Just to mention, the price difference between the 16GB versions is about 120 CAD. If you can swing it, the 9060 XT would be a solid choice for future-proofing your setup.
Have you thought about how long you plan to keep this GPU? If you're thinking 3 to 5 years down the line, you might want to consider whether you'll want to play more demanding games or even upgrade to a 1440p monitor by then. It could save you some hassle later on!
If you're looking for longevity, it might be worth it to go for the 9060 XT since it has double the VRAM. Even though the 5060 Ti has slightly better performance, that extra VRAM can be crucial in the long run, especially if games become more demanding.
Exactly! That slight performance dip is worth it for double the VRAM. Plus, don't forget about features like DLSS if you want a bit more performance!
That's a good point. If you expect to upgrade your monitor or play newer titles, the 9060 XT could give you more breathing room.
