Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my new PC and I'm torn between two graphics cards: the 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT. I live in Turkey, and there's a significant price gap—about 35,000 Turkish liras for the 9070 XT and 46,000 for the 5070 Ti, which is around a $300 difference. Picture quality is really important to me since I just invested $700 in a monitor. Of course, I also want good FPS for my games. Additionally, I'm considering the 9700X, 7800X3D, and 9800X3D CPUs, and I'd love some motherboard recommendations. Any advice would be awesome!

I'd recommend going for the 9070 XT if you can swing it since it's a great value and still offers solid performance. You'll probably enjoy better graphics quality, especially for the price difference. Plus, it won’t drastically lag behind the 5070 Ti for most games.
For motherboards, you can't go wrong with the Gigabyte Elite line, like the B650 Elite AX or V2. I went with the 9700X, and while the X3D is a step up, it's sometimes not worth the premium cost unless you're really gaming hardcore. The 9070 XT paired with a solid motherboard is a winning combo!
Got it! Is the ray tracing worth the extra cash for picture quality?
If money isn't too restrictive, definitely go for the 5070 Ti. It’s pricier but will give you a bit more power. If you can justify the $300 extra, it could be worth it!
Yeah, I think I might just go for the 9070 XT.
That makes sense! I'm leaning towards the 9070 XT too.
