I'm putting together my first PC and I initially got some suggestions to go with the 7700X for the CPU. But I've also received different recommendations for the GPU including the 5060 Ti, RX 9060 XT (16GB), RX 9070 XT (16GB), and RTX 5070 (12GB). The 9070 seems a bit outside of my budget, so I'm trying to figure out which combo would work best. Would you recommend another option altogether? Additionally, I've been considering the 5,9600X paired with the RX 9060 XT, but I'm unsure if that's a good fit. I want to build something solid for modeling and rendering with Adobe CC, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed!

It really depends on the resolution of your monitor! If you’re aiming for something like 1080p, I'd suggest looking at the 7600X or 9600X to save some cash, which could let you step up to the 9070. Just remember, for your software needs, a strong CPU is definitely important. But getting a better GPU can help too!
True, I hadn't considered the monitor's resolution much. If the 9070 is significantly better, I might try to budget for it! My goal is about £1.2k. People suggested I lean towards a stronger CPU since I’ll be using modeling/rendering software, do you think I'd still be alright to downgrade?
