Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first gaming PC and I could really use your feedback on the parts I've selected. I've been using a gaming laptop (Dell G7 1770 with an Intel i7-10750H, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti) for a while, but I'm ready to upgrade to a real desktop setup. The games I play include War Thunder, Baldur's Gate 3, HELLDIVERS 2, Marvel Rivals, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane 12, Payday 2 & 3, Rainbow 6 Siege, and Rocket League. Plus, I want to connect it to my Oculus Quest 2 for some VR gaming. Here's my parts list: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jdsG6Q](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jdsG6Q). My budget is around $1,750 to $2,000, so I'd appreciate any suggestions for tweaks or additions. Thanks! Also, here's my updated parts list after some feedback: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JzwBYd](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JzwBYd).

Given your budget, I recommend going for the RX 7700XT instead of the RX 7600 XT; it’s just about $40-$50 more and worth it for better performance. You'll notice a significant difference in graphic quality, especially for the games you mentioned.
Since many of your games are CPU-intensive, I'd suggest getting a Ryzen 5 9600X for a bit more cash. The 6700XT is getting older now, so maybe look for a 5070 when it’s available at MSRP or the 9070XT if you find a good deal.
I switched to the 7700XT, but I'm wondering, is this really worth it considering it's still somewhat dated? I don't need over 120fps but just below that would be fine.
Is there any major difference in performance? I'm really aiming for high settings to enhance my gaming experience.
