I'm working on a custom PC build and I'd love some feedback on it. I'm particularly interested in whether the MSI MAG A850GL power supply is good enough for my MSI SHADOW 3X OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. The MSI website claims it supports the newer 40 series, but I'm a bit anxious it won't be compatible. Since the PSU has a 16-pin connector, I think it should work, but I'd appreciate any confirmation. Also, I've linked my complete build below. Should I consider upgrading to a better monitor? Currently, I've just picked a 1080p one, but I'm open to suggestions. Here's the part list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xkFPNz)

Your setup is quite powerful! Instead of the 1080p monitor, think about a mid-tier ultrawide 1440p monitor—it would match your build better. By the way, if you’re mostly gaming, you might be able to drop down from 64GB RAM to 32GB unless you plan on using this for more intense tasks. That's my only piece of advice!
Definitely sufficient! If you're into competitive gaming, I suggest a 1440p monitor. The extra resolution could be beneficial, especially when playing non-competitive or visually rich games.
Your build looks solid! The MSI MAG A850GL should be perfectly sufficient for running the RTX 5070 Ti. However, I recommend you consider upgrading to a better monitor, like a 3440x1440 at 240Hz or 165Hz, such as the Samsung Odyssey G5 or LG Ultragear. It'll really enhance your gaming experience!
I plan to focus mainly on FPS games like Warzone. I opted for 1080p for the higher FPS. Do you think a 1440p monitor would still be worth it?
