I'm planning my next PC build, and I'm looking at possibly getting a 9070 XT. However, I just found a 5070 Ti available for $750 at Best Buy, and I'm unsure which one to go for. Would I need to make any changes to my setup if I decide to go with the 5070 Ti? Here's my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7X3nqH.

Regarding your parts list, consider upgrading your cooler. Instead of the 240mm AIO, a 360mm AIO or a solid air cooler would be more efficient, especially with your case. Also, I’d recommend looking at a B850 motherboard for better features moving forward, and check out this combo deal for CPU and RAM—it’s a solid price for a bundle. Lastly, you might find better PSUs that are cheaper if you shop around.
I personally had some issues after buying the 5070 Ti, like black screens in certain games that forced me to do hard resets. It’s frustrating, and if new drivers don’t fix it, I'm definitely going to complain. But I haven’t seen too many others having similar issues, so it might just be a rare case.
Honestly, the 5070 Ti is a stronger GPU. If you can grab it for a similar price, it’s a no-brainer! However, if the 9070 XT is significantly cheaper—say, $150 less—it might be worth a closer look. But good news: you shouldn’t need to tweak your build for the 5070 Ti.
That $750 for the 5070 Ti is a great deal for the performance it offers. If you can get it at that price, it’s definitely the best bang for your buck right now.
