Hey everyone! I've finally saved up enough to build a new gaming PC to replace my old setup (featuring a Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2060). I've got a budget of $2000 and I'm hoping to get a good rig put together, mostly for gaming at 1080p with my three displays. I've got an NZXT H510 case lying around, but I'm unsure of what to do about the graphics card. I'm looking at some bundles for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or a Ryzen 9 9900X with a motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 for about $550, which sounds solid. But I'm struggling with the GPU choice. The RX 9700XT was my initial pick, but I might be pushing my budget too far. What do you all think about the RTX 5070? Is it decent enough for 1080p gaming? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Definitely go for the Microcenter bundle with the 7800X3D! That's a solid choice. For the GPU, I suggest the RTX 5070 Ti. It's a great card for 1080p and should fit nicely within your budget. Check out this part list I put together for you!
Sounds good! I’ll look into the 5070 Ti and see what I can find. Planning to build it on Memorial Day weekend, so I have some time to shop around!
