Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on a new gaming PC build and would love your thoughts. My budget is about €2250 / $2400, but keep in mind that local prices are usually higher than in the US/EU, so part comparisons might not be entirely accurate.
This PC will primarily be used for gaming at 1440p, mainly playing Fortnite, Warzone, and other FPS games. I'm aiming for high FPS and great visuals. Aside from gaming, I'll be using it for general web browsing. I'm not into streaming or content creation, so aesthetics aren't a concern for me—just performance, please!
Here's my current build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- CPU Cooler: Antec Symphony 360 ARGB Liquid Cooler
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 GAMING WIFI
- GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE OC 16GB
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000
- Storage: Kingston 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD
- Case: Antec Elite RGB CG300
- PSU: Antec 850W Gold+
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
I'm hoping you can help me with a few questions:
1. Is this build well-balanced for high-FPS 1440p gaming?
2. Are there any bottlenecks or mismatches in this parts list?
3. Could I get a better-performing build within this budget, especially since aesthetics don't matter?
4. Any tips on maximizing gaming performance for what I have?
Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

I'd recommend getting the RX 9070XT instead of the RTX 5070 Ti. The performance is similar, if not better, and it's usually a bit cheaper in many markets. Just make sure to check the local prices, as they can vary!
How can you suggest that without knowing the respective prices? It all depends on what's available at a better price!
If looks don't matter, you might want to ditch the AIO cooler and RGB PSU. Go for a solid air cooler instead and stick with a standard PSU. You can use the money you save to add more storage, which is always handy for gaming!
I’m still learning, but could you compare the 9070XT to something in the NVIDIA lineup? That would help me get a better idea of how it stacks up.
