I'm working on my first PC build and I'm wondering if I could get away with using a 5070 Ti graphics card to play games in 4K? Here's my current build plan, but I want to make sure I'm making the right choices for gaming performance at that resolution. Any tips or suggestions?

Your build could be optimized further. Here’s a link to another setup that balances performance and cost better, allowing for dual-channel RAM and upgrading other components: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CM4ft3). This variant features a 9070 and is more future-proof as well.
The 5070 Ti will handle 4K quite well, especially with some games being able to upscale nicely for great performance.
Are we looking at 60 fps or more like 30 fps with this setup?
You'll likely get better performance with some settings tweaked, but expect a mix depending on the game.
Seriously, please consider using a 2x16GB RAM kit; it'll make a big difference!
I definitely will!
Definitely go for the 5070 Ti if you can. It's a solid choice for 4K gaming!
Is it worth the extra cash compared to a non-Ti version?
Going for a 5070 Ti might stretch your budget, but if possible, try to tweak your build a bit to save some cash. Maybe downgrade to a Ryzen 7600 instead of the 7600X and go for a cheaper SSD. Then use the savings for a matched 2x16GB RAM kit for better performance.
Yeah, I've found the stock Ryzen cooler can be loud during gaming. If you can, invest in a good aftermarket cooler; it makes a difference!
Just a heads-up, if you can get a Microcenter bundle, that might open up more options for fitting in the 5070.
Could I swap some parts to keep it with a 5070 Ti?
