I've got a budget of around €2500 for my new gaming PC, not including the case (which my parents got for me) and case fans. I'm trying to decide how to best use an extra €200 I have. Should I upgrade to a 5070 Ti, or is the 9070 XT a better option since I've heard it's cheaper and performs well? Also, I was thinking about adding a 4TB SSD, but that seems a bit excessive for what I need. Just to give you an idea, I mainly play modded Minecraft, FPS games, and some AAA titles. Plus, I'm studying game development at the same time! Here's a link to my current build for reference: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/FjJsrM).

Honestly, there’s not much you can upgrade from here without spending a ton more, like going up to a 5090. I’d suggest grabbing that 4TB SSD—it's a good investment even if it feels excessive right now.
Hey, where's your case?
Honestly, I’d just go for 2x16GB RAM instead of the 64GB you've got and opt for a less expensive motherboard, and maybe look into the 5080 for your graphics card.
The 5070 Ti is actually the better card for things like ray tracing and AI performance, which could be useful for game development. However, if you don't need those features and the 9070 XT is at least €100 cheaper, it might be the better deal for you. As for the extra budget, your build is already really strong, so consider upgrading some peripherals instead.
I didn’t include it here since my parents bought it as a gift. It's a Hyte Y70 with 9 Asiahorse fans.
