I'm looking to build a PC for gaming Forza Horizon 6 at max settings on a 3440x1440 display and also for 3D modeling and rendering in Blender. Ideally, I'd like to keep costs down, so I'm considering a 5070 GPU. My planned case is a Meshify 3, but I'm not sure about the rest of the components. I need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, at least two USB ports, and a Thunderbolt port with DisplayPort capability. It might sound silly, but I'd love to have ARGB fans that are magnetic. I need this PC to last at least four years without issues. My budget is between €1500 and €2000, but staying closer to €1500 would be better.

You might want to consider this setup: [https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/vrzp8Z](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/vrzp8Z) for around $1772. If you really need Thunderbolt or USB 4, go for an X870 or X870-E motherboard. If you prefer Intel, then a Z890 board would be a good choice. Remember, Forza does seem to favor AMD's x3d CPUs, but with the 5070, you should be fine regardless.

I'd prefer a 7800x3D CPU with an AIO cooler. I already have a 2TB NVMe drive. The Thunderbolt is for my Wacom tablet.
I've got a 7800x3D and a 7800XT running at 3440x1440. DLSS can help a lot, but if I didn't have the 7800x3D, my setup would feel pretty weak for current AAA games. I’d definitely suggest investing more in the CPU since Forza seems to run better with AMD's X3D chips.
I was considering getting the 7800x3D from AliExpress, but now I'm not sure what's the best value for performance.
