Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card and get a new monitor, likely a 4K one. You can check out my current setup [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kqNjMC). I'd like to run modern games with better than low graphics settings and also find a monitor that works well for gaming, photo editing, and watching movies. I'm looking to spend between $800 and $1000. Right now, I'm considering adding a 5060 ti graphics card (probably [this one](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5BBGCSZ?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_D393TE09CJA4V1KRQCH8&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_D393TE09CJA4V1KRQCH8&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_D393TE09CJA4V1KRQCH8&csmig=1)) and thinking about [this monitor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8ZNPRWW?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_JTC378Q952Z3FZQ699JS&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_JTC378Q952Z3FZQ699JS&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_JTC378Q952Z3FZQ699JS&csmig=1). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I’d say reconsider going for a 4K monitor given that your 5060 Ti isn't really a 4K card. It's better suited for 1080p or light 1440p gaming. If you want good performance, the 5070 Ti would be a better fit, but it might be stretching your budget. I myself downgraded to 1440p to maximize frames with my 9070 XT on dual 32-inch 1440p 165Hz monitors!
Thanks for the input! I’m realizing I don't need 4K for gaming. Do you think the 5060 Ti can handle something like Marvel Rivals?
