I've been out of the PC building scene for a few years and I'm a bit confused about the current GPU options. I'm considering the new RTX 5000 series and I'm trying to decide whether to go for the cheapest option, like an Inno3D or Gainward RTX 5080, or spend a bit more on a mid-range Asus or MSI RTX 5070 Ti. Is it worth it to pay extra for the RTX 5080, or should I stick with the 5070 Ti?

I'd say go for the RTX 5080! They're basically the same card at their core, so what you're really paying for is the cooling, build quality, and aesthetics. Getting the faster card seems like a no-brainer to me!
Yeah, but have you considered things like warranty and cooling options? Sometimes those factors make a big difference, especially if noise is a concern.
