Looking to build this in the coming 1-2 months. Other than advice on the parts, I'm struggling to decide on the GPU.
4070 Super is what is ideal for me in my budget right now but since 5000 series are around the corner, I'm wondering if I should just get a 3070 ti or something and then just upgrade 8-9 months later (if and when 4000 series prices drop further)
