Hey everyone! I've been working on a PC build configuration from PcComponentes in Spain, and I could really use your thoughts before I make the final purchase. I'm focused on getting top-notch performance, reliability, and long-term durability without caring much for RGB lights or flashy aesthetics. Here's what I've put together so far (all prices include VAT):
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D – €494.90
- **Motherboard**: ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI – €147.99
- **Memory**: TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (2x16GB, 32GB total) – €109.95
- **Case**: Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX White Tempered Glass – €105.91
- **CPU Cooler**: Noctua NH-D15 G2 – €149.94
- **PSU**: Corsair RM850x SHIFT 850W 80+ Gold Modular – €144.90
- **GPU**: ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 OC 12GB GDDR7 – €609.90
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe PCIe 5.0 – €127.99
**Total**: €1941.43 (including VAT)
I'll mainly be using it for 1440p gaming and want it to stay reliable with stable temperatures for years. Do you think this build is well-balanced? Would you swap any parts for something that offers better reliability or price/performance in the same range? Thanks a bunch for your help!

Overall, your build looks pretty solid, but you might be over-spending about €100 on the cooler and an extra €40-50 on the PSU. If you make some adjustments there, you could afford to upgrade to a 5070Ti or a 9070XT instead of the 5070. Do you have a PCPartPicker link for us to check out more details?
Honestly, for 1440p gaming, I'd genuinely recommend going for the 5070 Ti or the RX 9070 XT instead. You'll definitely get better performance out of those cards!
I liked most of your choices until I saw the RTX 5070. You could improve your build significantly! First off, consider switching out that NH-D15 G2 for the Peerless Assassin—should save you about €100 without sacrificing too much performance. Also, you could downgrade to the 7800X3D or save some cash on the PSU by grabbing an MSI 750W, which is usually cheaper by around €40. With these changes, you could easily fit a 5070Ti into your budget, which would be a great upgrade!
I made some tweaks based on the feedback! Here’s the updated config: [https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/8c0b294e3](https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/8c0b294e3)
