Hey everyone! I accidentally damaged my Power Color Red Devil RX 7800 XT 16GB while cleaning it (it was only about a year old, so I'm pretty bummed out). Now I'm looking for a new graphics card and I'm feeling a bit lost. I was thinking about getting another RX 7800, but I can't find it available anymore. I'm also not keen on getting scammed while shopping on Amazon or eBay. I'm running a Ryzen 7 5800X with 64GB of DDR4 RAM (I got it just before DDR5 was announced, which is a little frustrating), a 1000W power supply, and a 1440p monitor with 180Hz refresh rate. I've heard about the 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT, but I'm unsure which brand to go for. PowerColor worked fine for me before, but I really need some help here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You might want to check online retailers or local tech stores for availability. Sometimes they have restocks that aren't immediately visible on major markets. And don't forget to look at user reviews for reliability before you buy!
Also, it might be worth figuring out how you broke your last card while cleaning it. Like, what specifically were you doing? It can help you avoid making the same mistake again in the future!
If you're leaning towards the 9070 XT, I’d say it’s a solid choice. Just make sure you're picking a reliable brand, like Asus or PowerColor, so you won't have to worry about it failing on you a month down the line.
How much are you looking to spend on a new GPU? If you're considering Afterpay, you might be aiming for around $1000? I saw some PowerColor cards listed for about $1200 to $1300 on PC Case Gear, and your previous card was around $900, right? That might narrow down your options a bit!
