I'm putting together a custom PC and I'd love some feedback on my build. I'm specifically curious about the MSI MAG A850GL PSU—will it be enough for my RTX 5070 Ti? Their website claims it supports the 40 series, but I'm still a bit uncertain. My build includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a Gigabyte X870 Motherboard, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 4TB NVMe SSD. I've also included a monitor (1080p), but I feel like I might need to consider something better. What do you all think?

Your build looks solid! The MSI MAG A850GL power supply should work perfectly with the RTX 5070 Ti. However, you might want to consider upgrading your monitor to something like a 1440p for a better gaming experience—it's worth it!
Your PC is definitely high-tier and the power supply is totally adequate. You might want to trim some components, like getting a 1440p monitor instead of staying stuck at 1080p.
A mid-tier ultrawide 1440p monitor would be a great match for your build. If you're mainly gaming, 64GB of RAM is overkill since most games don't need it. You'd be fine with 32GB, unless you're doing heavy multitasking or productivity work.
I plan on gaming mainly but also doing some AI generation, so I think a higher RAM is necessary. Maybe even bumping it up to 128GB!
If you're into gaming like Warzone, the FPS boost from a higher refresh rate 1440p monitor might be worth it—just something to consider!
What do you think I could downgrade without losing performance?
