Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my first PC because my current setup is lagging behind. Right now, I'm using an Intel Core i7-9700F with an RTX 2060 and 16GB of RAM at 2666MHz. I'm considering upgrading to a Ryzen 9 9900X with an RTX 5070 Ti and either 32GB or 64GB of RAM at 6000MHz. I'd love to hear your tips or recommendations! What motherboard should I choose? Are there any other components I should consider? Do you think there will be any bottlenecks with this setup? Thanks a lot!

I recommend checking out this parts list: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bLTHXR](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bLTHXR). I included both the RTX 5070 Ti and the 9070 XT, so you can choose whichever fits your preference and budget. The 5070 Ti generally has a slight edge in performance, but keep in mind that prices can vary. Also, I suggest going for a 7800X3D instead of the 9900X since they’re similarly priced, and the 7800X3D tends to perform better for gaming. If you do more than just gaming, though, the 9900X might still be a solid choice!
What's your budget looking like for this build? Just curious if you have a cap that we should keep in mind while recommending parts!
I can spend a bit over €2000, so around $2400.
I was leaning toward the Ryzen 9 for its steadier performance, but I prefer Nvidia GPUs. Also, I use two 1440p monitors and might add more in the future. Do you think this build will hold up? My current PC is really slowing down.
