I'm looking to upgrade my PC for gaming and some light editing and modeling. I've heard the NVIDIA RTX series can be pretty expensive. Right now, I'm considering the RTX 3070 or the 4060, as I've seen them priced around $500. I've read mixed reviews—some people think they perform well, while others are not so sure. Can anyone confirm if the 3070 or 4060 are actually good options for their price? Also, what are some good CPU and GPU combos within a total budget of $1,500?

I’d definitely recommend the RTX 3070 over the 4060 based on performance. The 3070 is generally regarded as a solid card for gaming and should serve you well for both gaming and editing.
Based on your budget, it might be tough to hit your target with high-end GPUs. I'd recommend looking into used cards like the RX 7800, which can deliver better value. Pair it with an AM5 Ryzen 5 or 7, like the 7700x for a strong combo.
Honestly, if you're looking at the 4060, you might want to reconsider—it doesn't give you much bang for your buck. For gaming and editing, the 3070 or even considering the newer 5070 could be a better choice if you can stretch your budget a bit.
