I'm currently using an Intel i7-3770k with 16 GB of RAM on a DQ77MK motherboard. I'm considering upgrading to a 5060 Ti GPU soon, replacing my old GTX 1660, but I want to know if my current setup can handle it. I'm planning a complete PC upgrade later this year, but I would like to get the GPU now. Will it work?

Yes, technically any GPU can be connected to your motherboard. However, the main thing to check is if your power supply unit (PSU) can handle the new 5060 Ti. Make sure it's sufficient for the power requirements!
I believe your EVGA 500w bronze PSU should work, but it’s better to double-check the GPU’s requirements just to be safe.
If you're looking at a future build, I'd suggest just getting a power supply for the new setup right away when you buy the GPU. It's a good investment!
