I'm looking to build my first PC optimized for 3D design and rendering, as well as digital drawing, while also making it a capable gaming machine since I want to dive into PC gaming more. My budget is around £1700 to £2000, and I'd like to purchase the parts from Amazon since I have some gift vouchers. Here's what I have so far: [PCPartPicker List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/F28vzP).
I have a few questions:
- I was initially considering the 4070 Ti, but I noticed the 5070 is available at a similar price. Is it worth the switch?
- Is the Ryzen 7900X suitable for design tasks, or should I opt for the 7950X?
- Would the 9900X be overkill for my needs?
- Lastly, is my cooling sufficient, or do I need to upgrade it?
I appreciate any help as I navigate this process!

You can definitely consider the 5070 Ti if you're planning to use CUDA for your 3D workloads. It offers great performance for rendering tasks compared to AMD GPUs, which aren’t as strong for that type of work.
I tweaked your build by swapping in a Ryzen 9 9950X and a 990 Pro SSD, plus I found a cheaper motherboard that still offers the same features and an 850W power supply. Check it out: [Updated Build List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YKDNXR). It might serve your needs even better!
