Christmas is coming, and I'm thinking a family PC is on the cards from santa.
It would need to run minecraft and Lego city undercover and that sort of thing.
I already have a spare TUF 750W bronze rated power supply (that I bought one time I was troubleshooting).
I will also probably upgrade my RX5700XT graphics card so put that in this build (suggestions welcome for a good bang for buck replacement that's good for a server running Mint and ollama (needs high VRAM) as well as used for gaming).
Everything else would be new. Suggestions for monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers too please!
Let's aim for a ballpark of $1000USD (I'll be purchasing in New Zealand).
Thanks in advance!
At current pricing you might be better off with the regular (non-XT) 9070, it's skewing much closer to MSRP right now, whereas the 9070XT is still marked up such that the price increase outpaces the performance increase. Something else to consider is the 9070XT has a 304W TDP compared to the 9070's 220W, so the regular 9070 is also more power efficient, which may be something you need to consider for the power supply being used with it or your local electricity rates.
Yeah, I see many are listed as needing a 800 or 850W power supply, where as the 9070 are often 700 or 750W. My current PSU is 650W and the spare one is 750W, so probably better to go with the 9070 rather than have to get a new PSU as well.
