I've recently picked up some awesome parts for a great deal! Here are my specs: CPU is an i9-14900k, motherboard is MSI 790 Max WiFi, and I'm running 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 7200 MHz. I got everything for just $425 and it's been running perfectly after about six months of use. Now, I just need to find a good GPU that won't bottleneck my CPU too much but also won't completely empty my wallet. I'm mainly focused on playing games like Valorant, Fortnite, Rust, DayZ, and Tarkov, and I prefer having high frame rates—ideally over 360 FPS in Valorant. I've been considering the 5070 ti, but I'd love any AMD suggestions or advice!

You can't go wrong with a 9060xt at $349 right now. It's a really good deal for the performance you get!
I'd say either go for the 5070 ti or the 9070XT. The 9070XT is a bit cheaper, but both are solid choices. Just make sure you update the BIOS on your motherboard—it's a crucial first step!
I just snagged a used 3070—it was mainly used for gaming, no mining, and I got it for $200. I think it'll work nicely with my setup. What do you think?
The seller mentioned he updated the BIOS just before I bought it. I'll double check, thanks for the reminder!
