Hey everyone! I've been working on building my first gaming PC, and after getting some great advice last month, I've managed to narrow down my parts list. You can check it out here: [my build list](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/vYkJqH). I'm mainly looking to game at 1440p, with some capability for 4k gaming, and my budget is around AUD 2500 (approximately USD 1600). I'd love to hear any recommendations, thoughts, or advice you might have! Thanks a bunch!

Your CPU actually comes with a cooler, so you don’t need to buy one separately. I also found you a cheaper power supply. If you can, look for an HDR 10 monitor within your budget—that would really enhance your gaming experience. Overall, your build looks solid and you're on the right track!
Looks solid! I think you could save a bit by going for a less expensive PSU since the RM series is pretty pricey. If you can snag an RMx series for a similar price, that would be a better choice. Also, about the case: unless you're planning on adding more fans, I’d suggest a cheaper case or one that comes with additional fans since having a $129 case with only 2 fans isn’t ideal!
Thanks, will definitely look into that!
I managed to find a build that’s actually $50 AUD cheaper, plus it has a better motherboard and GPU, and a slightly more reasonably priced CPU. Don't worry about the CPU bottlenecking; it's not a huge issue at 1440p and 4k. Long term, you might want to get a 7500F now and upgrade to something like an 11800X3D later.

Honestly, I don't see any major issues with your PC build. Just a heads up, though—the Ryzen 7600 might slightly bottleneck the RX 9070 in some scenarios, but it should perform well overall.
Good to know, thank you!
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. I heard Corsair PSUs are great, though—do you disagree?
