Hey folks! I'm trying to decide between two gaming PC builds. The first option features an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32GB DDR5 6000 RAM, a 2TB NVMe SSD, and an 850W 80+ Gold power supply, priced at $3000 CAD. The second one has an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (up to 5.4GHz), GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB GDDR7, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and the same 2TB NVMe SSD for $2600 CAD. I'm upgrading from a GTX 1060 and an i7 processor, and I usually play CS2 and GTA 5. I'm looking for a setup that can give me high FPS in those games and last a couple of years. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks!

I'd definitely go for the first build! It's far superior and will be more future-proof as well. That setup will handle any game you throw at it, and it's a solid investment.

If you're mostly playing CS2 and GTA 5, you might not need the newest cards. A previous-gen card could still give you great performance at lower costs.
I was considering branching out to other games too! I’ve been limited by my old PC. Money isn't a problem, but I’d like to keep it under $3000 CAD.
Thank you! I'm leaning towards that one. Do you think the price is fair? It's about $2200 USD.
