Hey everyone! It's been quite some time since I last built a PC, and I'm looking for your input on a build I'm putting together for a friend. How well do you think this setup will handle 1440p gaming, especially for single-player titles? I want to make sure I haven't overlooked anything crucial in my parts list. Thanks for your help! Here's what I'm considering:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core
- **Cooling:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000
- **Storage:** Crucial T500 1 TB PCIe NVME SSD
- **GPU:** Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
- **Case:** Phanteks XT PRO ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply:** Enermax REVOLUTION D.F. 2 850 W 80+ Gold
Total price is around €1499.37. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Your build looks solid! It should handle 1440p gaming quite well, especially with the RX 9070 XT. Just make sure the cooling is adequate since high-performance CPUs like the Ryzen 5 can run hot, especially under load.
Honestly, I think it’s going to run poorly. If it does, just hand it over to me in shame!
This setup is going to perform great! You’ve got a fantastic balance of high-end components that should offer an excellent gaming experience at 1440p.
I was really worried about the cooling too, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Fingers crossed!
I was really stressed about cooling too, but it seems like you got a decent cooler picked out. Should be fine!
