Hi everyone! I'm in the process of building a new PC since my current one is nearly a decade old. I'm aiming for a white aesthetic, but I'm facing some challenges: I live outside of America/Europe, so finding used parts is tough. My usage includes various games like CS2, League of Legends, and Baldur's Gate, and I'm also interested in playing GTA 6 in the future. Additionally, I work as a graphic designer and might explore some motion graphics. Ideally, I want to assemble a solid PC that I won't need to upgrade for the next 10 years. I'm weighing the RX 9070XT against the RTX 5070 for this build. Would one be a better choice? Is there anything else I should consider swapping out in my build? I initially wanted to stick to a $1500 budget, but given my needs, that might be unrealistic as both the RX 9070XT and RTX 5070 are around $1000 here. You can check my part list [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4WMDxf). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To provide the best advice, it would help to know your local market. In which country are you building this PC?
The RX 9070XT is quite a bit faster and has more VRAM than the RTX 5070, so they really aren't comparable in performance. If they're priced the same, I’d definitely go for the 9070XT!
Oh, for the same price, I’m definitely leaning towards the 9070XT. Thanks for the advice!
If you're doing graphic design and might dive into animation, the RTX 5070 could be a better option. NVIDIA cards generally have better compatibility with graphic design software, which might make your life easier.
I'm in Kazakhstan! Unfortunately, we don't have Amazon, just local markets. You can check parts availability here, but the site is in Kazakh/Russian: [DNS Shop](https://www.dns-shop.kz/).
