I'm trying to put together a gaming PC that can handle 1440p gaming at max settings, and maybe even manage 4K on lower settings. My budget is around 1500€, but I've ended up with a list that totals about 1600€ in my country, and I'm okay with that. The most significant expense is the 9070xt, which costs around 690€. Here's the list I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wQ4nKq

For a more balanced setup, I went with an Intel 265k and a B580 graphics card, which are similarly priced to the 9700x here in NZ. The B580 is much cheaper than the 9070xt and still performs well at 1440!
Are you planning to get a new monitor as well? It's something to think about for your build!
You might want to consider going for a Ryzen 5 7600x with a 2TB SSD and a less powerful GPU. For 1440p gaming, that's really all you need and it could save you some cash!
Where are you finding a 9070xt for MSRP? That seems a bit off, usually they're priced higher. Just curious where you found it!
If you want to save some money, consider getting a non-modular power supply and a cheaper case. They work just fine for the build!
My build includes an Intel i5 13600f, 32 GB of RAM at 3200 Mhz, a B760 Gaming X DDR4 motherboard, and a RTX 3060ti 16 GB. This setup handles everything really well!
I got it from this site: https://www.rightdeal.sk/p/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16gb-gddr6-11348-03-20g. Seems like a decent deal!
