Hey everyone! This is my first attempt at building a PC, so I'm hoping for some friendly feedback. I don't have much experience with computer parts, but I believe I've selected compatible components. I want to know if I'm overspending or underspending on any parts. Here's what I need: the ability to game at 1440p and run various creative software efficiently. You can check my build on PCPartPicker: [link]. Would love any insights!

I personally use Adobe software too, and I'm looking into music software as well. Do you really think the 5070 Ti will outperform the 9070 XT significantly?
Generally, for Adobe programs, Nvidia cards have an edge, but for music production, it often comes down to CPU power. So, more RAM can be helpful depending on what software you’re using.
One tip I have is to consider switching to a cheaper CPU cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. Also, if you plan on using Adobe software or anything that benefits from CUDA, the 5070 Ti might be the better choice over the 9070 XT. It would be more beneficial for your creative work!
What kind of creative software are you planning to use? Knowing that can really help figure out if your build meets your needs. Also, how crucial is performance for your creative tasks?
Your build looks solid! If you're open to alternatives, I found a different setup that might save you some cash while still offering great performance: [link]. Total cost is around $1630. Worth checking out!
For gaming, the 5070 Ti is definitely worth the extra cash. In terms of Adobe applications, it could give you a performance boost of about $200 more value than the 9070 XT! Also, if you're getting into music production, it might be wise to consider going for 128GB of RAM instead of just 64GB.
