I'm saving up for a new GPU and I'm torn between the 7800XT and the 9070XT. My primary gaming resolution is 1080p, and I plan to play titles like Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3 (and the upcoming Witcher 4), Oblivion Remastered, Doom: Dark Ages, modded Skyrim, Black Myth: Wukong, God of War Ragnarok, and a few others. The 9070XT is newer, which might offer better future-proofing, but the 7800XT fits my budget better at around £400-£500, compared to the 9070XT's £600-£700 price range. Additionally, I'm considering ray tracing capabilities. Also, will my 750W PSU be sufficient to support either of these GPUs paired with a Ryzen 5600X?

If you're sticking with the Ryzen 5600X, you might experience some bottlenecking. I'd suggest you think about upgrading to the Ryzen 5700X3D for better performance. Both GPUs will handle 1080p gaming well, but the 9070 instead of the 9070XT might offer a better price-to-performance ratio.
What's the power consumption like for the 5700X3D? Is my 750W PSU up to the task? Also, I hadn’t thought of the non-XT version. Any brand recommendations? I'm using a Palit 3060 now, but I’m unsure if they make AMD cards.
