Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC build and would love your thoughts on whether it's good for gaming now and in the next few years. Here's what I've got:
- **Graphics Card:** PNY GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER VERTO XLR8 Gaming OC 12GB GDDR6X — €599.90
- **Processor (CPU):** AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 3.8GHz, 8-core, 65W — €287.80
- **RAM:** G.Skill Flare X5 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (2x16GB, AMD EXPO) — €126.90
- **Case:** LOGIC CASE J23 USB 3.0 x 2 BLACK — €22.05
- **Motherboard:** MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI ATX, Socket AM5, DDR5, Wi-Fi 6E — €189.90
- **SSD:** Lexar NM790 2TB 2280 PCIe Gen4×4 7400/6500MB/s — €135.60 x2
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermaltake Contac 9 SE — €14.45
- **Power Supply:** Seasonic Core GX-750-V2 ATX3.1 80 Plus Gold — €109.90
My budget is around €1800 (about $2100). Can this build handle current and upcoming games? Also, does it have room for future upgrades?

That PSU and case look pretty good for airflow and stability. Just make sure your case has enough room for your GPU, especially if you plan on doing future upgrades. And yes, there’s definitely room for upgrading later, especially with that motherboard. Just don’t overspend on the CPU now if gaming is your main focus!
Looks like a solid build overall! That GPU is great for gaming in 4K, and your RAM should definitely keep you future-proof. However, for gaming, you might want to consider downgrading your CPU to something like the Ryzen 5 7600X or 9600X. It'll be more than enough for gaming and will save you some bucks to reinvest in other components like a better GPU. Just keep an eye on your budget to ensure everything fits!
Thanks for the tip! I really wanted to stick with the Ryzen 7 for better performance, but I see how saving on the CPU can allow for a better GPU.
Good point! I’ll double-check the case dimensions to avoid any issues with the GPU. Thanks!
