Hey everyone, I just built my first gaming PC with the following specs: RTX 5060 Ti, Ryzen 5 7600X, 16GB RAM, and 1TB NVMe Gen4 storage. I spent around $1300 for everything, including the case and power supply. I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments about the RTX 5060 Ti, and I’m starting to second guess my choice. Did I make a bad decision?

You shouldn’t feel bad about your purchase. The RTX 5060 Ti is a good card for beginners, especially if you’re new to PC gaming. Many complaints stem from comparisons to high-end cards—you’re not upgrading from one of those, so this build will serve you well! Just keep an eye on your settings when playing competitive versus single-player titles for the best experience.
It sounds like you’re overthinking things a bit! The criticism you’re seeing might not be about the 5060 Ti itself but rather expectations from those who upgraded from top-tier cards. Your build is solid for a first-time gamer, and you should enjoy it! Don’t let the haters get to you!
Totally agree! Just dive into gaming and start having fun. This is a big leap from console gaming!
