First time PC builder - need a help with GPU

Posted by kuonal@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments

Hi! I'm trying to build a PC (mainly for gaming and general internet scrolling).

My budget is around $2,700 - $3,000 (AED 10,000 since I'm from Dubai).

In trying to find suitable parts, I've found that the GPU is INSANELY pricey 😭. I was initially looking at the 'GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti' but that's around $1,300 here - which I'm not sure I'm willing to spend considering my more casual needs.

Would love it if anyone could share any suggestions for alternative GPUs that will still look good and last long term!

Depends on what kind of gaming you do. A 9070 XT would be much cheaper for example. However, a 5070 Ti is well within your budget and if you are looking a card that plays the latest games with the best visuals, has many widely supported features, general convenience, better longevity and hardware, the 9070 XT is a big compromise.

I wanna play games like wutang, Genshin, honkai etc

And the 3k budget is for the whole build haha - wasn’t expecting the gpu to take up half that cost

Yeah, I assumed so. It is unfortunately normal for the GPU to take up most of the budget. But for the games you listed, I think a 3k system is a big overkill. I think a 9070 XT, 5070 (if you prefer convenience) or even cheaper GPUs would work. 5070 Ti is better for the big AAA titles now and in future.

Okayy thank you!
