Looking for advice on this GPU

My current setup is a core i7 9700, 64 GB ddr4 3200 MHz, gigabyte aurus z370 gaming 3 motherboard, running on an nvme drive with several nvme and SSD slave drives and currently I'm using a Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB and I'm pretty sure that it's starting to shit the bed because anytime I am running either Bambu studio or Fusion 360, randomly my PC will just completely freeze up the entire OS and crash where the display goes black and the audio shades the bed. I figured out that the OS completely freezes up because it doesn't even get a chance to write the crash to the event viewer.

I've used AI to try and pin down the problem and have lowered the clock speed on the ram, turned off xmp, turned off all wake locks, turned off hibernation, uninstalled the driver in safe mode using ddu and then reinstalled the latest WHql driver, yet not a single one of these changes or anything else I've done has fixed the problem. So at this stage based on the age of the card, I'm starting to think my 5600 is starting to die.

So with that being said, I'm curious to know if this Nvidia 5060 Ti is a decent choice because my budget is honestly non-existent, but I can probably scrape up the money to grab this since it's at a good price and I really just want to know is it worth buying?

I don't really game that much on my PC. In fact, barely at all because I mostly use my PC for Spotify, 3D modelling and slicing for my printer, as well as standard browsing, etc.

Any help or advice here would be very much appreciated 🙏

I currently have some bog standard WiFi lightbulbs that work with Google/Amazon and are controlled with their Tuya app, but my family still likes to turn the lights off by hand as well.

The problem this causes is, if the light has been switched off at the wall for a period of time, then when I turn it back on, it starts flashing and needs to be paired with the app again.

I'd love to find a solution to this problem, either with new bulbs or some other kind of solution, so I would love to hear your ideas on how to approach this.
