I'm considering purchasing a gaming PC for around $2100 AUD (about $1340 USD). I'd mainly use it for gaming, mostly at 1080p, but I might try 1440p occasionally. Here's the setup I'm looking at:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with 8 Cores and 16 Threads at 4.6GHz
- Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Motherboard
- GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12G Ventus 2X OC Graphics Card
- Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 RAM
- Kingston NV3 SNV3S 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
- MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze Power Supply
- Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler
- Thermaltake View 170 ARGB Tempered Glass mATX Case - Black
I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!

This setup is decent, but for that price, you might want to look at something a bit more powerful. Your current choice feels a little outdated compared to what you could get. Check out this link I found for some better alternatives: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/JnC42x. If you're open to AMD, swapping the RTX 4070 for an RX 9070 could also be a smart move since it has 16GB VRAM, which offers more future-proofing for gaming.
Wow, how does this work out to be the same price? The parts seem much better here.
