I'm excited to finally upgrade my old PC, which has served me well for 13 years. After my laptop broke, I bought a Legion Go because it's just better than my old setup, but now I'm ready to invest in a proper PC. I mainly want to play Euro Truck Simulator V and replay titles like Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate with better graphics (not just low settings). I'm also upgrading to WQHD resolution. Here's what I'm considering for the build:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 8x 4.2GHz, 96MB L3-Cache
- **GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB or AMD Radeon RX 9070
- **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF Gaming B650-E WIFI
- **RAM:** 32GB DDR5-6000 Corsair Vengeance (2x 16GB)
- **SSD:** 2TB Western Digital Blue SN5000
- **Power Supply:** 750W be quiet! Pure Power 12
Does everything look good? Any suggestions for improvements?

Do you have a reliable CPU cooler? You'll need something substantial to keep the Ryzen running cool, especially if you want to push for maximum FPS without throttling.
If the RX 9070 XT fits your budget, I’d suggest going for that over both the 9070 and the RTX 5070. It's a better performer overall, especially for gaming at higher settings.
