Hi everyone! I am a first-time PC builder. I’ve put together a parts list but I'm currently undecided on which GPU to pick.

Note: I am using AI to translate this post as I am not a fluent English speaker. I apologize if there are any mistranslations or awkward phrasing.

I am torn between the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G VENTUS 2X OC and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16G. Here is the rest of my planned configuration:

Component	Product
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
CPU Cooler	Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE White
Motherboard	ASRock B650 Steel Legend WiFi
Memory	Crucial DDR5-6400 32GB (16GBx2)
Storage	Kioxia Exceria G2 2TB NVMe SSD
Video Card	(Torn between RTX 5070 12G and RX 9060 XT 16G)
Case	MSI MAG FORGE 320R Airflow White
Power Supply	Corsair RM750e (2025 Edition)
OS	Windows 11 Home

My Questions:

1. GPU Choice: Between the RTX 5070 (12GB) and the RX 9060 XT (16GB), which would you recommend for this build?
2. Compatibility: Are there any physical clearance issues (cooler, RAM, GPU size) or compatibility problems with these parts?
3. First-time Advice: Since this is my very first build, are there any extra items I should buy? (e.g., specific tools, extra cables, or thermal paste?)

Thank you for your help!
