I'm building my first PC and I'm doing a lot of research to make sure everything is perfect. I'm stuck on which graphics card to go with from the options I have. Here's my current setup: I've got an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and an ASRock B650M PG Riptide motherboard, plus a Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V3 power supply. I'm planning to buy a Crucial P310 1TB SSD, an NZXT H6 Flow RGB case, a cooler (either a Montech HyperFlow or an Asus ProArt), an ASUS ROG Strix 27" QHD monitor, and 32GB of RAM at 6400MHz.
Now, for the GPUs, I'm deciding between two: the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition 16GB GDDR7 and the Galax GeForce RTX 5080 1-Click OC 16GB GDDR7. The 5070 Ti is known to be reliable and quiet, but it's also on the pricier side at BRL 10.700. The 5080 is a bit cheaper at BRL 9.300, and while it's slightly superior in terms of performance, I've heard it runs hotter. Which GPU should I choose?

If the 5080 is cheaper than the 5070 Ti, there's really no reason to even consider the 5070 Ti, especially for gaming. The 5080 offers better value for performance.
Definitely go for the 5080 if it's cheaper! It's designed to cool itself well, so as long as your case has decent airflow, you'll be alright. Plus, if it runs hot, you can always undervolt it to help manage temperatures.
I'd say the 5080 every time! It's a solid card, and if you've got good airflow in your case, you should be just fine with it. The 5070 Ti is good too, but it really comes down to how much you want to spend.
Get the 5080 for sure! Especially since it’s cheaper and would delay your build process less. It's a great card, and I don't think you’ll regret the choice.
