I'm building my first PC and need some advice on which GPU to pick. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600x
- MOBO: GIGABYTE B650 Eagle
- RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz
- PSU: DEEPCOOL PK750D 750W 80 Plus Bronze.
- SSD: LEXAR NM790 2TB SSD
Currently, in Poland, the GPU prices are:
- RTX 5070: $670
- RX 9070 XT: $770
- RX 9060 XT: $470
I'm primarily going to game at 1440p and would love to play on very high settings in games like Witcher 4. Which GPU do you think I should go for?

I recommend the 9070 XT for sure. But I have to say, I'm not fond of that PSU you listed. You might want to consider a different one.
For the best bang for your buck, I think the RX 9070 (not the XT) is the way to go. It's currently the best price-to-performance GPU out there. If you're looking to save some cash, then the RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM is also a decent choice. Just keep in mind, you're going to see a performance drop in some titles.
Hands down, the 9070 XT is the fastest card among those options. I wouldn't even look at the 9060; it's just not worth it.
Definitely go with the 9070 XT if your budget allows. It handles any game at 1440p on max settings easily. The 9060 XT is a good choice for saving some money, but you may have to tweak settings in some AAA titles.
If you're gaming at 1440p, the RX 9060 XT will give you roughly 10-40 FPS less than the 9070 XT depending on the game. In Witcher 4, the 9070 XT might deliver 30-60% more performance. I would avoid the RTX 5070 due to its 12GB RAM; the extra VRAM might not be as advantageous in most AAA games.
