I'm looking for some guidance on building my own PC as I'm a software developer and planning to focus on AI applications, with some gaming on the side. I'm a bit confused about whether to go for a 5070 or 5080. I want a simple design without much RGB—just something that looks cool and professional. I also prefer a curved display, so I'd like opinions on the best brands for that. Can anyone help me out with how much budget I should set aside for this build? My budget is between 2 lakh to 3 lakh INR.

For a build in your budget, I'd suggest setting aside around 1 lakh specifically for the PC components, which gives you a solid foundation. Focus on a strong CPU and GPU, especially since you mentioned AI work. The 5070 could be more cost-effective if you're looking to save, but the 5080 will handle demanding tasks better. Just keep it simple with minimal RGB and stick to a good quality PSU and motherboard.
Also, is there a big difference in performance between the 5070 and 5080 for AI workloads?
Thanks for the advice! What graphics card would you recommend for AI tasks specifically?
