Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on my potential PC build. I came across this setup on PCPartPicker, and I'm wondering if it's a good choice. I'm a bit concerned that the motherboard might be overkill for what I need, but I'd rather pay a little extra to avoid bending any pins. Here's the link to the build: [https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/XjBnC8](https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/XjBnC8). What do you all think?

The AIO cooler you picked is quite pricey. If you're trying to save some cash, consider a cheaper option like the Thermalright AIO or even the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360. Also, if you're gaming at 1440p, a less expensive B550 motherboard should work just fine, and the 5070 Ti is more than enough for your needs unless you plan on jumping to 4K soon!
Would the GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 be a suitable motherboard?
You should definitely look for a PSU with a 12VHPWR connector for better compatibility, especially if you're considering high-end GPUs. It's crucial for ensuring stable power delivery!
Is that connector necessary for the GPU?
Would this PSU work? I found the Seasonic FOCUS GX ATX 3 (2024), 80 Plus Gold, 850W, and it has the 12VHPWR.
What differences are there between the 5070 Ti and the 5080 besides better 4K gaming?
