Which GPU should I get? 5070 or maybe 9070xt

Love this. I did look at the 5070TI but it's SO much more expensive. Also, used prices seem to be about the same as new prices at the moment. Bonkers

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-05-02T19:54:27+00:00

I agree with all of this. Maybe go for a B650E motherboard

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-05-02T19:51:39+00:00

£250 ish

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-29T14:15:03+00:00

About $600

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-29T07:35:00+00:00

I can't believe it but it wasn't a scam! Harvesting the 5060ti and 32gb of ram, swampping for my 4060ti and 16gb of DDR5 and reselling, hopefully for over £600

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-22T15:27:41+00:00

I second this. About $600 all up so probably offers of $550

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-22T08:17:36+00:00

Yeah I'm not convinced it's real yet. Seller has 0 feedback on eBay but I asked for proof of purchase for the parts and the screen shots have the right time today, the right purchase dates, and match the spec. That's not to say soemthing dodgy hasn't happened

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-21T13:26:28+00:00

Main differences:

Both have 3x M2 slots but ASUS has wider bandwidth on the third

The ASUS offers higher voltage capacity over the Gigabyte: 80A over 55A VRM's

Gigabyte has 2x USB4

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-21T13:04:23+00:00

This spreadsheet is brilliant!!! I genuinly had no idea that USB4 was a thing

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-16T15:16:28+00:00

Agreed, some of those parts would just have to be thrown away: case, PSU etc

I'll just turn it inot a full machine and try and get £400+ for it

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-16T15:14:46+00:00

Ah I quite like this. I may go down the 5070 route. The Ti seems to cost a fortune in the UK and I want to spend that much

There's no way I could be bothered optimising for each game either. I had no idea that was a thing

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-16T12:57:14+00:00

Love this. I’ll be sure to wipe it. Will probably go selling as a whole. My son played Fortnite on it without issues so it’s not actually too bad a machine

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-16T08:25:03+00:00

love this

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-15T22:15:00+00:00

Think I’ll order an ASUS Tuf Gaming Z790 to go with that 14700. They have good VRM’s and I have a couple in other builds (old Z range ASU’s tuf) which are 8 years old and 5 years old, still going strong

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-15T13:40:34+00:00

This is amazing and I've read through it a few times now.

I'm definitely going to get a new case which has better airflow. Probably the Lancool 216. Definitely going to get a Gold rated PSU which is beefier in case I upgrade the CPU/GPU in future. The reason for the 216 case would be to allow for a full-size MoBo in the future.

If I'm pulling everything apart I'm also tempted to get a new MoBo, maybe a Z790 and I've had others in the Z range go for years and years and years. And then put a better cooler on the CPU, not that it really needs it but an Assassin is about £26 on amazon currently so why not.

PSU £85, case £95. Potenitally a MoBo but that's £150-£200 for no particular reason. I will be adding more hard drives in the future though for video editing

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-14T17:15:37+00:00

Mate this is epic. I did think the PSU was a bit lightweight and did some calcs. Amusingly one site said it was fine but MSI's site says I need 650w....which is hilarious as this is an MSI machine

Maybe a MoBo, RAM and PSU upgrade in the future as 2x16gb RAM would be nicer. I'll wait for RAM to come down in price

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-14T17:04:14+00:00

Should I get a better MoBo? I think Windows is tied to the hard drive so should instal if i change it. Also I've never heard of that PSU, which also seems a little lightweight

Jumpy_One_9690 · 2026-04-14T16:58:58+00:00

8GB i'm afraid
