I'm putting together my first PC build and I've been advised to consider an AMD Ryzen 7700X CPU. As for graphics cards, I've seen recommendations for options like the 5060 Ti, RX 9060 XT, RX 9070 XT, and RTX 5070 with 12 GB. The RX 9070 is a bit out of my budget, though. Which of these would make the best combo? I'm also open to suggestions for other parts. Additionally, I've thought about going with a Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the RX 9060 XT, but I'm unsure if that's a good choice. Any help would be much appreciated!

It really depends on your monitor resolution. If you're looking to save some cash, consider downgrading to either the Ryzen 7600X or 9600X and perhaps use that extra budget for the RX 9070. It's a solid upgrade if you can swing it!
I haven't thought much about the monitor yet. If the 9070 is a significant improvement, I might find a way to fit it into my 1.2k GBP build. I'm also leaning towards a more powerful CPU for modeling and rendering in Adobe CC. Do you still think it's wise to downgrade?
