I forgot:

For an RTX 5070 Ti, you can get away with a 750 watt power supply from a reputable manufacturer. I would spring for 850 watts. A Corsair RM850x is around $150.

Intel 14th gen processors generally don't ship with their own coolers. You would need either an all-in-one liquid solution or an especially good air one. For liquid, you could probably get by with a 240 (two 120mm fans) AIO, such as a Corsair Nautilus. If budget allows, it wouldn't hurt to spring for the 360. If going the air route, a Noctua NH-U95 is popular (these are very tall - check to make sure it works with your case). People also like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin.

Corsair Nautilus 240 - $80
Noctua NH-U95 - $70
Thermalright rofl name - $35

I have had good results with the liquid AIOs. Some people only use air, unreasonably imo.
