Hey everyone! I'm in the UK and building my first PC focused on productivity rather than gaming. While I do enjoy gaming, my main concerns are productivity tasks like 3D modeling and programming, as I often have multiple applications running. I want a setup that handles FHD 240fps for competitive games and around 60fps for more demanding ones. I've created a parts list that I'd like to optimize to be under £1500, without compromising on power for the future. Here's my current list: [My PC Part Picker List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/84mvxg). I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions to refine it. Thanks a lot!

You could go for a 7950X with a 5070Ti for your build. It fits your budget and should provide you with excellent performance for both work and play. Check this out: [New Parts List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dKJDHW).
If gaming isn't your top priority, consider swapping your CPU for the Ryzen 9700X. It's a solid choice for productivity and should handle your gaming needs quite well too!
That does seem sensible based on benchmarks. Do you think I should look at an alternative GPU to avoid potential bottlenecks, or is the 9700X enough for the 9070XT?
Can you explain why this combo is better than my current choices? Also, what would you suggest I downgrade to stay within my budget?
