Hey everyone! I've put together a part list for my new 1440p gaming PC and I'd love to get your opinions on it. I'm hoping to see if there are any major issues or awful choices. Here's what I have:
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Boxed
- Gigabyte B850M D3HP
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G
- Corsair FRAME 4000D
- Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB Black
- Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB 0dB 3-pack Black, 120mm
- Arctic P14 Pro A-RGB, 1-pack, Black, 140mm
- HyperX Alloy Origins Core, HyperX Aqua Switch, Qwerty US
- Patriot Viper Venom (32GB RAM)
- MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 Black
- Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB
The setup includes 3 120mm fans at the front for intake, 3 on the top for exhaust, and a 140mm fan on the back to help push air out. I'm still deciding whether to mount the AIO on top or on the side.
Thanks a ton for your help!

Your build looks solid overall! Just a heads up, the GPU you picked is a Small Form Factor version, which is fine but might not look quite right in that case. The micro ATX motherboard might also not be the most visually appealing option in your setup, but it’ll work fine since your case supports it. I’d suggest considering a more compact case for better aesthetics. Also, aim for RAM close to 6000MHz with the lowest CL rating you can find; around 32/30 is ideal.
Cheers!
You might have too many fans here. Just three intakes in the front, the AIO on top as an exhaust, and the rear fan should suffice. I personally use a 280mm AIO instead of a 360mm one since they perform similarly and are easier to install—definitely worth considering!
Totally! A 280mm AIO is compact and super effective too—just something to think about!
Good catch! I didn’t think of that. The AIO’s built-in fans should help a lot. I did check out the 280mm; it’s easier to install for sure, but I love how the 360mm looks. Maybe I’ll reconsider based on your advice.
