I'm building my first proper PC and have a budget of around 5000zł (~1200€). I currently game on a Full HD monitor and don't have plans to upgrade that yet, but I'm considering graphics card options. Should I go with the RTX 5060 Ti or the RTX 5070? I want stable 100+ fps on high settings for the next five years, but I'm unsure if the 5060 Ti can handle that for 1080p gaming. I have an old laptop with a GTX 1050, so this upgrade will be significant for me, even though I mainly use GFN. I also need to account for the assembly service and a Windows license in my budget. I've been leaning towards the RTX 5070 after reading some suggestions but would appreciate more insights.

If you’re thinking about upgrading in the future, I'd say go with the RTX 5070. It’s more powerful and can easily handle 1440p if you decide to make that leap later. Plus, the future games are likely to demand more performance, so having that extra kick is worth it!
Honestly, the RTX 5070 is a great choice if you can stretch your budget. With it, you’ll have an excellent experience even in demanding AAA titles at 1080p with plenty of headroom. I had the 5070 for a while and it handled everything I threw at it comfortably, especially with DLSS and ray tracing turned on.
That’s good to know! I was afraid it would be too much for just 1080p.
If you're mainly sticking to 1080p, the RTX 5060 Ti is definitely enough to get you 100+ fps in many games. However, the RTX 5070 will future-proof your system a bit better, especially if you think you might upgrade your monitor to 1440p later on. Keep in mind, it’s a bit of an overkill for 1080p right now, but that extra power might pay off down the line.
What about gaming performance? Do you think settings will impact the fps for the 5060 Ti?
The RTX 5060 Ti can certainly do the job for 1080p gaming, especially with some overclocking. But you might find that, as game requirements grow, it could struggle a bit more compared to the 5070. If you're okay with that trade-off, it might save you some cash now.
Thanks for the encouragement! I think I’ll go with the 5070.
