Getting Started with AdviceFirst building a PC for Monster Hunter Wilds
Don’t focus too much on the 5070ti. In earlier versions of the 50 series, they lacked sufficient inventory, and the available stock was depleted quickly. The MSRP should be around $750, not $900. It would be worth watching to see if there’s enough supply. If there’s good availability and those items are actually in stock at the recommended price, they’d offer good value. However, at $900 they might seem overpriced.
Yeah, I'm not gunning for the 50 series. I'm well aware I've picked a wacky time to build a new PC, but unfortunately this is how it's shaken out as I only recently got the funds freed up.
I've put together something of a build in part picker - I've left out the OS because apparently we might have a Win11 key going spare, and if not there's room in the money to get it. Technically two builds but one has the 4070 ti super, the other has the RX 7900 XTX. The more that I think about it, I think I'm leaning towards the RX 7900. Seems to be a lot of bang for your buck, with the bonus of no terrifying 12vhp cables.

Please do yell at me if I've missed anything obvious here. The Fractal Design case is the smaller one and may just fit the RX 7900 XTX, but might block drive bays if so? The larger version of the case would almost certainly work but then it would conflict with where I would want to put it. Either way, I need a break from looking at PC parts for now.
