Listen to Tp4, BUY GPUS NOW.
9070xt is the only GPU that makes any sense. Current sales $630-750.
No other GPU makes any sense Performance vs. Price wise.
DO NOT buy 5070ti unless it's $750 or less.
DO NOT buy a 5080, those 12pins WILL BURN, it's only a matter of time, nothing can stop it short of you soldering the psu side together into a 12gauge.
DO NOT buy anything slower than a 5070ti.
NEVER EVER touch a 5060ti.
When the economy Xplodz, GPUs are going to be far more scarce, and cost way more.
It's almost guaranteed the Economy Xlodz..
Also buy motherboards now, You can get a great board for $120-150. Tp4 recommends Gigabyte, good ram compatibility.
Check the vrm table, make sure it has at least 500 amp configuration. 12x40, 8x70, etc.

DO NOT BUY the upcoming 9070GRE, it's got gimped ram. 12GB, 192-bit bus, very low bandwidth (for a modern card).
Basically another 5060ti to 4070super-ish lvl performance.
Even the Old 7900gre had 16GB @ 576GB/s on 256bit
The ram will hold it back when you go higher res.
UNLESSSSS, it's $200, which is imposssssible. Even @ $300, you're better off buying 9070xt.

Tp4, You don't need a 98" Qm8k. The sony argb backlights aren't even out yet.

Tp4 thinks people will start to realize how stupid it is to download 24bit music now that SSD space is @ a premium.
One of the most insane waste of computing power and space. 16bit 44100hz, All you ever need.
