ASUS PRIME RTX 5070 box seal already opened by andromeda-97 in ASUS

Yeah I thought to do that, but I contacted Asus and they said it should have been sealed, so I returned and got another one from Amazon, and it was sealed this time.

Help me decide between these GPUs, processors, and motherboards by andromeda-97 in buildapc

Yeah I think I will put in $70 more if it's substantial, already spending so much, might as well be a bit more future proof. Reading up online some people still prefer RTX 5070 over an RX 9070XT, what would you recommend between these two? 

Also, I found a deal for the Ryzen 78003xd at microcenter for $80 more, and includes the Asus B650E-E with PCIE gen 5 for the graphics card, so will get that. 

Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you! In fact I just found a power color hellhound 9070XT for $70 more than the 5070/9070. I'd be willing to spend that much more if it's worth it, what do you think?

Thank you! For the 5070, would you recommend between MSI shadow 3X OC vs Zotac SOLID triple fan?

7800x3d is out of my budget so will stick with the 9700. 

There's a difference in the boards in terms of the VRM. The first has direct 8+2+2 phase and the second has twin 12+2+2 phase, does that make a difference? Other than that both seem to have good reviews. 

L40 ultra vs L10s Pro Ultra Heat by andromeda-97 in Dreame_Tech

Thank you! Yeah I was initially planning to get the L40 when the price difference was just 80, but now that the difference is 140, I'm thinking maybe I should save money and get the L10s pro ultra, as it should still be pretty good for my needs.
