To really help with budget, I suggest checking out the prices on PCPartPicker. For instance, what do you think your total is? A complete build can often be streamlined if you're flexible on certain parts like the cooler or case. Sometimes going for slightly less flashy components can yield good savings!
Hey! Before diving into budget tips, could you share what country you’re in? It helps us understand pricing better. Also, I noticed the RTX 5070 Ti you mentioned is actually a 16GB card, which is great for performance but it might be on the pricier side. The Corsair Vengeance RAM can also be quite costly, so just a heads up on that!
I think you can save on RAM by looking for alternatives or waiting for sales. There are often good deals on SSDs too if you keep an eye out!
I'm seeing around 1600 USD for everything on PCPartPicker, but any tips on which parts I can downgrade without losing too much performance?
