Hey everyone! I'm thinking about upgrading my current setup (I've got a 3060 Ti and an i7 10700KF) since prices have finally started to drop a bit. I'm considering some prebuilt gaming PCs and could really use your advice on which one might be the best deal. Here are the options I've found:
1. AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT + Ryzen 7 7800X3D from Newegg for about $2800-2900 CAD.
2. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti + Ryzen 7 9800X3D also from Newegg for $3100-3400 CAD.
3. RTX 5080 + Ryzen 7 9800X3D available at Canada Computers.
Given that the power supply and cooling parts might be on the cheaper side, do you think any of these options are worth it at their current prices? I'm also considering whether to go for a custom build at MemoryExpress, but the prices for high-quality components are quite high. My max budget is around $3250 CAD after tax, but I'd ideally like to spend less if I can find a good deal. If none of these options are good, I'm open to other suggestions for a build in Canada. Thanks a lot for your help!

The first option looks pretty good, especially price-wise! Just keep in mind that the actual details for the PSU, motherboard, and RAM can be a bit of a gamble. I couldn't find any specifics on those components. Just make sure you’re okay with the uncertainty there.
Totally! Upgrading the PSU and other parts later is a good strategy if you find an affordable prebuilt.
I can help you with a configuration! Just let me know if you have any visual preferences like color themes or RGB! Also, if you're aiming for high performance, the RTX 5080 is really solid, but both the RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT are also great choices.
Yeah, that’s definitely concerning. But I was thinking I could upgrade those parts later since they are cheaper components. What do you think?
