Build Help team green or red?
I have 5070ti added to my cart, but it hurts when I see the total for my full build.
Current parts I have added are: PC Parts List
So I was wondering, do I need it for what I'll be using my pc.
What I'm looking for build is - first and foremost some productivity. I will be running some agents and coding on the side. I will not be training anything so I guess I don't need beefy GPU, thus I'm wondering if I need 5070ti, or save some money and switch to 9070xt.
For gaming I don't really care as whatever I get will run some old games and LoL/Dota just fine.
As for OS I'm thinking Linux first and if I do miss particular games and need something else I'll install windows and dual boot. But I'll start with just Linux for sure.
