I'm building a PC for my girlfriend and I want to know if this setup will perform well for her needs. Is there anything I should adjust? Also, I'm specifically looking for a more affordable GPU that can compete with the 5070 Ti. Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6q9YMC.

For RAM, try to find something with CL30 or CL32 instead of CL36, as it’ll give better performance. And that monitor you picked has a 60Hz refresh rate; you might want to consider something like the Acer EK241Y, which is 1ms and 120Hz for a smoother experience.
You might want to check the GPU options like the 9070 XT; it gives good performance for a lower price. Also, don't forget to invest in a solid monitor—aim for at least a 1440p, 27" IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate to make the most of your build!
I suggest avoiding paying full price for a Microsoft key—I've seen them online for around $5-$6. It's definitely worth searching for better deals!
Oh, and don't forget that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up—perfect time to catch deals on components!
