I'm not sure which GPU to pick. I've heard bad things about 4060ti's but that could be wrong and not sure if the $300 jump to 4070ti worth it. I won't be doing super hard gaming (GTA, iRacing, Forza, Madden) but want something that will last for a while and still be able to keep up. $300 difference between the 4060 and…
