I'm trying to decide on a 5070 Ti graphics card for my first PC build, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options. The models I'm considering are: 1) Gigabyte WINDFORCE SFF, 2) Asus PRIME, and 3) PNY OC. They're all priced the same, but I've heard some have issues like fan problems or warranty concerns. Can anyone give me advice on which one I should go for?

If you're looking for performance, the PNY actually gives you a slight boost and better cooling at the same price point. Can't go wrong there!
And it's also factory overclocked, right? That's a nice bonus!
Both Gigabyte and Asus have been known to give bad warranty support—like they will blame the customer for issues. I would definitely avoid them.
I've had three PNY GPUs in the past, and they've all worked great for me. Just got a 5090 OC, and I'm loving it! Go for PNY if you can!
I bought the PNY at MSRP when it was available, and I've been super happy with it. It's been reliable for gaming and general use!
I'd recommend going with the PNY. I've heard that Asus can be tricky with warranties—they sometimes blame customers for issues. Plus, Gigabyte has been reported to have thermal leaking problems. The PNY should serve you well.
Totally agree; I've had good experiences with PNY as well, especially for the temps.
Yeah, PNY tends to have a better cooler, which is a definite plus!
That's what I've heard too. PNY really seems to be the better choice.
