I'm planning a gaming PC with an MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12GB, Ryzen 5 7600X3D, MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi 6E motherboard, 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5-6000, an MSI MAG A750GL 750W Gold power supply, and an MSI MAG Forge 320R Airflow case. I already have an SSD, so that isn't included in the list. My main games are World of Warcraft, Apex Legends, Hunt: Showdown, and Battlefield 6 at 1080p or 1440p. Does this look balanced, and is there anything I should change before buying?

The build looks well balanced, and 32GB of DDR5-6000 is a good match for the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. It should handle those games very well at both resolutions. The main thing missing from the list is a CPU cooler, so make sure you budget for a capable AM5 cooler. Also check the exact prices, since the graphics card may not be the best value depending on your region.
I’d compare the RTX 5070 with a Radeon RX 9070 XT before buying. The 9070 XT generally offers more performance and 16GB of VRAM for similar money, which could age better at 1440p. The RTX 5070 still has advantages such as DLSS, ray tracing support, and Nvidia’s software features, so the better choice depends on which features matter most and how pricing looks locally.
Everything looks solid as listed. The 750W Gold power supply should be sufficient for this setup, and the airflow-focused case is a sensible choice. Just verify that the case includes enough fans and that the CPU cooler has proper AM5 mounting support.
The two cards cost about the same where I live, so the decision mostly comes down to Nvidia’s features versus the extra VRAM and performance from the Radeon.
