Anyway, I'm trying to build a good PC for mainly complex physics simulations on Java, Arduino/robotics projects, CAD and maybe a little bit on gaming (I'm not gonna do much since I am gonna use Linux, and don't wanna spend on operating system). Wondering if I should stick to 9060xt (16gb), or 5070 or 9070 would be better?

If you're going to be on Linux, go for the 9070. The 9060 XT is aight, but the 9070 will do a ton more than it, while nVidia's driver support on Linux is kind of painful.
Also worth double checking which WiFi module your planned motherboard has; there are a few floating around that absolutely do not work under Linux.

Save money an get a 9070 XT. That's my personal preference/opinion

this is pretty overkill for me ngl, especially that it already exceeds my intended budget of 1300 by 100 dollars, so i might stick to the 5070 like what others said, but thanks tho for suggestion.

I'd say 5070 would probably be best in your case - for sure.
This is A+ build btw.
I got Edifier R1280T myself - never regretted it. Also for monitors I recommend Asus XG27ACS (same tier 1440p, 120hz+) - bit pricier like $240, but you cannot go wrong with these.

ok thanks. ill consider the asus xg27acs, and maybe the r1280t, tho may keep the r980t to be cheaper, but ye

5070.

ok thanks

5070 is better for your case, but in gaming the 9070 whoops the 5070s ass as its a bit faster has more vram and is usually cheaper.
