I've recently put together a gaming PC build and I'm looking for some feedback on it before making a final decision. My main focus is on playing games at 1440p, with the possibility of 4K gaming down the line, but I won't be doing any streaming or heavy work tasks. I'd love to hear your thoughts on part compatibility, potential bottlenecks, and any recommendations for swaps. Here's the breakdown of my components along with local market prices:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D – *$460*
- **GPU**: Gigabyte RX 9070XT Gaming OC 16GB – *$926*
- **Motherboard**: ASUS TUF B650M-Plus Gaming WiFi – *$255*
- **Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB – *$40*
- **RAM**: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB) – *$100 each*
- **PSU**: Lian Li Edge Gold 1000W – *$168*
- **Case**: Lian Li Lancool 216RX – *$100*
- **SSD**: Colorful CN700 SE 1TB PCIe 4.0 (7000/6000 MB/s) – *$85*
One concern I have is about the GPU. The Colorful Battle-AX version of the 5070 Ti costs an extra $100, but from what I've seen in comparisons, the performance gains don't seem significant enough to justify the price increase.

If the local prices really are that high, then spending the extra $100 on the 5070 Ti could be worth it. It's a solid upgrade for just a little more cash.
If you're even thinking about 4K gaming in the future, you might want to consider getting a 5080. However, I understand it costs an extra $500-$600 in your market, so it might not make sense right now.
Yeah, but I'm not aiming for 4K anytime soon, so that extra cost is hard to justify.
