Hey everyone, I'm looking for some quick advice on picking a GPU. I want to build a PC that can run Monster Hunter World at 1440p and handle some work tasks. I already have a B850M motherboard and an 850W gold PSU, and I've secured some RAM before the prices spiked. I'm considering the option of selling some parts to possibly get a 5060 laptop plus a PS5. For the CPU, I'll likely go with either a Ryzen 7 7700 or a Ryzen 5 9600, both of which should work fine for 1440p gaming. However, the prices vary a lot depending on the country. If I buy online, I'll end up paying hefty taxes. Here are my best local options:
• Msi Shadow 5050 - 260€ (the only good deal)
• Asrock Challenger 9060 XT 16GB - 450€
• Zotac Gaming 5060 Ti 16GB - 500€
• Asus Prime 5070 - 610€ (dual bios)
• Asrock Challenger 9070 XT - 700€
• Msi Shadow x3 5070 Ti - 860€ (loudest card)
• Msi Gaming Trio 5070 Ti - 960€ (silence + dual bios, but is it worth the price?)
I'm looking for the best option that will last me at least three years without breaking the bank!

You should definitely check the specifics of the B850M motherboard and the 850W PSU you have; they're not all the same quality. Considering your options, I'd say the 9070 XT for 700€ is the best buy. The VRM on your mainboard will really impact your CPU's performance, so keep that in mind. There's some good info on this topic from Hardware Unboxed on YouTube.
Honestly, that RTX 5050 for 260 euros isn't considered a great deal, but if it's all you can afford, it could be your best choice. I actually have an RTX 5050 in my living room setup and a 5060 Ti for my gaming rig. I’d suggest you go for the quicker GPU or maybe the 9060 XT if you're willing to spend a bit more.
