I'm planning a major upgrade aimed at playing CPU-intensive games at 1440p and around 144 Hz. The case and storage are parts I already own, while the RAM, CPU, GPU, power supply, and motherboard would be replaced. The build uses a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT. Does this combination make sense, and are there any components I should reconsider?

A Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with an RX 9070 XT should handle 1440p gaming at 144 FPS very well, including demanding titles. For cooling, I’d consider a stronger air cooler such as the Thermalright Phantom Spirit or Peerless Assassin.
Thanks! I already have the case and storage, so the RAM, CPU, GPU, power supply, and motherboard are the parts being upgraded.
That’s a good point. I was leaning toward the 7800X3D because I play The Finals, which can be particularly demanding on the CPU. I’ll also look into upgrading my monitor.
The CPU is probably more powerful than you need for many games, but it makes sense if you play titles that put heavy demands on the processor. You may get more noticeable value from upgrading to a better monitor, especially if your current display cannot take advantage of the system’s performance.
