No, despite its higher price point of £319, the GeForce RTX 5050 proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, Arc B580 has 44.1% better 3DMark score compared to GeForce RTX 5050.
In the used market, the GeForce RTX 5050 fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce RTX 3080 which outperforms it by a lead of 73.5% in 3DMark benchmark.
Recommended PSU for the RTX 5050: about 500 W — the card draws 130 W, a CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X about 105 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
