Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC and I've got most of the components ready to go: I'm using a Fractal Design North case, a Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX motherboard, and an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM running at 6000MHz. For storage, I have a Lexar NM790 2TB SSD, and I'm also using onboard audio with a be quiet! Dark Rock 5 cooler. My PSU is a Corsair RM850e with 850 watts. Now, I'm trying to decide between two GPUs: the XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Gaming Edition for €749 or the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 TI WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G for €769. What's the best choice for my setup? I'd appreciate any insights! Thanks!

Honestly, since there's only a €20 difference, I'd lean towards the NVIDIA card. It generally offers better performance and more stability in games, especially if you're into titles that benefit from CUDA cores.
For sure, but don’t forget that AMD cards can also be solid for gaming. It ultimately comes down to personal preference on features.
Checking out sites like gputiful can help with these decisions. Both the RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 TI look promising. It really depends on what games you'll play—if you tend to lean towards AMD or NVIDIA might also influence your choice.
I'm mostly into single-player games like Hogwarts Legacy and FFXVI, and I've been through both brands. I had a 6700 XT before I switched, but I've got a tighter budget this time.
That makes sense! Each has its strengths, so make sure to consider what features matter most for your preferred games.
The RTX 5070 TI is technically the stronger GPU overall, so if you're aiming for the best performance, that might be the way to go. But both GPUs will serve you well in this build!
Totally agree! Plus, with the Ryzen 9700X you might find that the additional CUDA cores of the 5070 TI will help with productivity tasks too.
