Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my first PC and have put together a list of components. I'm trying to decide between the 5060, 5060ti, and the 5070. The 5070 is just within my budget, but I'm unsure if the extra cost is justified. Here's what I've got so far:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB
- **Motherboard**: ASUS B650-A ROG Strix Gaming WiFi AM5
- **GPU**: GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB
- **Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you're leaning towards the 5070, you're making a solid choice. It's significantly better than the 5060ti, and the base 5060 just doesn't cut it, especially for gaming. I’d suggest skipping the ASUS motherboard to save some cash. Check out cheaper options from Gigabyte or MSI instead.
Thanks for this! I don't often play AAA games, so I considered the 5060/ti instead. The motherboard is part of a bundle at Microcenter, so it’s not too bad. I’ll keep an eye out for other deals!
