I'm building a fully black gaming setup focused on good aesthetics and 1440p performance. My total budget is about $2,500, including both the PC and monitor, and I'm shopping from Turkey. I've already put together a parts list, but I'd like feedback on where I could improve the performance, value, or component selection.

You may be able to get similar gaming performance for less by using a Core i5-14600, 32 GB of DDR4 memory, a Radeon RX 9070 XT, and an OLED monitor. That could leave more room in the budget while keeping the system fast at 1440p.
My concern is that LGA1700 is effectively a dead platform, while AM5 is expected to receive CPU support for much longer. Also, wouldn’t a Ryzen 7 7800X3D be significantly better for gaming because of its 3D V-Cache and larger 96 MB L3 cache compared with the 14600’s 24 MB?
