Hello guys, I would love it if you would give me some suggestions for my GPU Upgrade


I'm locked in on a 5060 Ti 16GB, specifically the Asus Prime 3x OC and MSI Ventus 3x OC

However, for the price of the Prime model, I can buy the MSI Gaming Trio, but I am hesitant cause of the 12vhpwr Connector

Also, the CPU will be upgraded later to 5700x, but the GPU will have priority right now

 

This is mainly for 1080p Gaming (Heavy Gaming usually AC, Ghost of Tsushima) and Light Game Streaming (Hoyoverse, OBS) 
 

This is my current build
CPU- Ryzen 5 3600x
Motherboard- MSI B450 Gaming Plus
GPU - ASUS Strix GTX 1060 6GB
RAM- 32GB 16gbx2 G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600mhz White
HDD- Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB NVME,
Seagate Barracuda 500 GB SATA,
1TB WD Blue SATA,
1TB WD Black SATA
Case- Coolermaster NR600
Case fan-2 front intake, 1 rear exhaust,2 top exhaust

CPU Fan - Cryorig H7 Plus 
Power supply- Corsair RM850e Fully-Modular

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Why does the connection worry you? At it's max, it uses 183w, with 20 ms spikes of 217. That is trivial for the 12vhpwr connector to deal with.

Actually, I am trying to find any reports about any 5060 Ti with a 12VHPWR burning issue.
My PSU has a 12VHPWR Cable, so that it can be used instead of a splitter

Will be running stock OC Specs on chosen card

Probably seeking peace of mind because of all the videos about the 12VHPWR

And have you found any reports of it happening? I can't recall reading about any.
