I'm planning to build a gaming rig that will also handle video editing effectively. It doesn't have to be completely silent, but I want it to be relatively quiet with good airflow. Here's my intended setup:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WiFi (AM5)
- **CPU Cooler:** be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5
- **Memory:** Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 32 GB (2x16 GB, EXPO)
- **Graphics Card:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti MSI INSPIRE 3X OC
- **Storage:** 2x Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB (PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2)
- **Case:** Fractal Design Meshify 2
- **Power Supply:** be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750 W, 80 Plus Gold
I also need help deciding among different 5070 Ti options available at alternate.de. Here are the choices I'm considering: Gainward, GIGABYTE (multiple models), MSI, INNO3D, and ZOTAC. Any thoughts on this setup?

I’ve got a similar setup with a 4070 Ti Super and I find it to be the best configuration I’ve had. I switched to MSI X670E and after dealing with ASUS for years, I'm really happy with it. With EXPO II and gaming mode enabled, it's been great for sim racing! Just sharing my setup in case it helps you: AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, MSI X670E, and T-Force Delta 32GB DDR5 6000MHz.
For cooling, consider the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE; it performs well. Your 750W power supply should be fine, but if you want some extra headroom, an 850W might be better. As for the GPU, just opt for the least expensive option among your choices.
I’d suggest downgrading to a 40 series card with more VRAM. It'll be better for video editing and handling high-level AI tasks. Just something to consider!
The 9800X3D isn't the best choice for video editing; you might want to consider switching to an Intel chip or a different AMD model for better productivity. Just my two cents!
If you want a quieter setup, I recommend checking into the be quiet! Silent Loop series. They're known for being super quiet while maintaining good performance.
