Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my new gaming PC build and would love your feedback. I haven't gamed in a while but want to make a grand return with a high-end setup since I couldn't afford one back in the day. Here's what I've put together:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32
- **SSD**: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME
- **HDD**: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM
- **GPU**: XFX Speedster MERC 310 Black Edition Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24 GB
- **Case**: Fractal Design Pop Air ATX
- **PSU**: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified
Is this a well-balanced and compatible build? Any suggestions or improvements?

Your build looks solid overall! But if you want better performance, consider swapping the 7900XTX for a 9070XT—it's worth it especially for FSR and better ray tracing capabilities. Also, looking into RAM with a 6000 MT/s CL30 might give you better performance due to its ease of overclocking.
I think you're on the right track! Your CPU choice is awesome, and the cooler is good too. Just a heads-up, the Corsair RAM is pricier; maybe check out options like Silicon Power for better deals? Also, if you don’t care about ray tracing, you might not need the high-end GPU. And about the SSD, if you're not doing heavy video editing, a cheaper one will do just fine.
Could you clarify the changes I should make? I plan on playing competitive games mostly at 144Hz or 240Hz, and I want good FPS!
I'm not really into overclocking or video editing, just want a smooth gaming experience with decent FPS.
What do you mean by a 1-1 profile?
