Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my first gaming PC, and I'm pretty sold on going with the RTX 5070 for my graphics card. However, I'd love to get your input on my entire build. I'll be gaming at 1440p, so I want to make sure everything's set up right. Here's what I have so far:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB NVME SSD
- **Video Card**: PNY OC GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB
- **Case**: NZXT H5 Flow (2024)
- **Power Supply**: Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 850 W Gold Certified
Overall, my total is about $1218.92 with all the parts included. Let me know if you think I should switch anything up or if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

I’d recommend considering a different power supply brand, like EVGA or Corsair. They have a great reputation for reliability. MSI is also a solid option if you want some variety. Thermaltake is okay, but I worry about long-term performance with them.
Okay, so you're not a big fan of Thermaltake? What exactly should I look out for in a power supply?
