I'm planning to build a new PC, and I'm stuck between choosing a 7700 XT and a 5060 Ti for the GPU. With all the driver issues reported for the 50 series and the mixed reviews on the 5060 Ti, I'm starting to have second thoughts. Should I make any changes to my build?

I switched out the CPU for a more affordable option and made some tweaks to help you get a much faster GPU. You might want to consider the 9070 XT if you can find a good deal or if you can stretch your budget a bit. Here's a list of the parts I suggest:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9GHz
- Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI
- Memory: Silicon Power Value Gaming 32GB DDR5-6000
- Storage: TEAMGROUP T-FORCE G50 2TB NVME SSD
- Video Card: PowerColor Hellhound OC Radeon RX 9070 16GB
- Case: Montech AIR 903 MAX
- Power Supply: MSI MAG A750GL 750W
Total cost would be around $1519.81. This setup should give you a much better gaming experience!
Just to let you know, I mainly play Rust, which is quite CPU-heavy, so consider going for something like the 7800X3D; it can really handle those demanding games well!
