I'm looking to optimize my current PC build for better value while maintaining performance. Here are the components I have in mind: I'm using an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 3.80GHz CPU along with a THERMALRIGHT Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler. For the GPU, I'm considering one of three options: Inno3D GeForce RTX 5070 Ti X3 OC, Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S, or Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S, all of which have 16GB of GDDR7 memory. My motherboard is a GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX, housed in a DEEPCOOL CC560 MESH V2 ARGB case. I've got KINGSTON FURY 32GB Beast EXPO DDR5 6000MHz RAM and an FSP VITA GM 850W power supply, with a WD 1TB Blue SN5000 SSD. Any ideas on how I can adjust this setup for better value? Thanks!

Have you thought about why you're choosing the 7700 over the 7700X? The X version often has a bigger power budget and is frequently cheaper, which could save you some cash!
Quick questions for everyone: Out of the three GPUs mentioned, which one stands out as the best? Are the differences between brands notable, or can I save money with any? Also, do I really need an 850W power supply for the 5070 Ti? Thanks!
If noise isn't a concern, just grab the cheapest GPU available. And a 750W PSU should suffice for the 5070 Ti.
If you're focusing on gaming, consider swapping out the Ryzen 7 7700 for a Ryzen 7600X or 9600X. They'll deliver great performance for a better price!
You could also look at the Ryzen 7500F for an even cheaper option!
I found the 7700 OEM for 20% less than the X version, which is why I chose it.
