I'm in the process of building my new PC, and the only component I'm missing is a GPU. I'm considering two options available at Microcenter: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti. My primary use will be for productivity, but I might dabble in some gaming. I'm running an AMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D processor with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. While both GPUs might be more than I need, I want to avoid buyer's remorse, especially since these are priced similarly around the $3-400 range. I'm looking for advice to make the best choice without overspending.

You should check out YouTube for benchmarks related to the games you'll be playing. It'll give you a better idea of which card performs better for your specific usage.
That's a great tip! Just remember that some benchmarks use high-end CPUs, so your Ryzen might bottleneck performance in certain setups.
