Should I go for the RTX 5060 Ti or splurge on the RTX 5070?

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?
