Hello everyone I'm hoping someone can help me with some decisions about the build I'm currently starting.  My current setup (which will be going to my wife) is a ryzen 7 5700x with a 3070ti. I can't seem to figure out what i would be better going with for a new gaming setup. I want to stay with amd but I'm unsure what cpu I should go with. I'm also unsure as to if I should go with a 5070ti or an amd 9070 xt. If anyone has any ideas or input. My budget is around 2600 usd but if needed I could go slightly above but would prefer to stay under 3000 usd.

 

Thank you in advance

Mostly the same thing but a decent bit of cost saving

Ty both for these this helps greatly. One question I have is do you recommend the 9070 xt over the 5070ti and other then cost why? Genuinely curious and trying to learn more

Cost is the only reason to choose the 9070 XT over the 5070 Ti. What resolution do you game at or are you looking for a new monitor? The reason I ask is because those two cards mentioned work best at 1440.

I mainly game at 1440 but I'm not opposed to making the move to 4k but it's not a necessary thing for me
