Hey everyone! After years of dreaming, I'm finally diving into building my own PC. Here's what I've got so far:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
- CPU Cooler (still deciding, I'd love your thoughts): Thermalight PA 120 SE
- Motherboard: Gigabyte 650B Gaming X AX V2
- PSU: Gigabyte PG5 750W (Gold)
- RAM: Viper Venom (2x16GB), 6000MHz
- SSD: Probably going for a 1TB Kingston (let me know if you have better or cheaper options!)
Now, I'm torn about the GPU. I was looking at the RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB, but I just noticed the 18GB versions from MSI and Gigabyte are around $615-$620. On the other hand, there's the RTX 5070 (the non-Ti version) with 12GB for $670. What do you all think? Should I stick with the 5060 Ti or grab the 5070 instead?

Honestly, I'd go for the 5070. It’s worth the extra cash for the performance boost, and it’ll be more future-proof! Your build looks solid overall, though—what kind of case are you thinking about?
Nothing too fancy! I’m leaning towards the DarkFlash DS900 Air. Thanks for your input!
