I'm putting together my first gaming PC and want to make sure my components are a good match for playing at 1440p. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- Ryzen 7500F
- Radeon RX 7700XT
- Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Dual Channel Kit
- ID-Cooling SE-214-XT ARGB CPU Cooler
- Kingston NV3 2TB PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD
- Genesis IRID 503 ARGB V2 Black Case
- GIGABYTE B650M AORUS ELITE Motherboard
- MSI MAG A750GL PCIe 5.0 80+ Gold 750W PSU
Do you think these components will work well together and what kind of performance can I expect?

The Kingston NV3 SSD uses QLC flash, which isn’t the most reliable over the long term and can slow down significantly after a few years. I'd recommend looking for an SSD with TLC flash, like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or WD Blue SN580. They may be a bit pricier, but they're much better in terms of durability and performance.
I found the WD Blue SN5000, but it's $15 more than the Kingston NV3. Is that a worthwhile investment? It seems like it would be better, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with it.
Your build looks solid for 1440p gaming! Just keep an eye on that SSD situation. If you can stretch your budget a little for a TLC SSD, it’ll be worth it in the long run. I think you'll get great performance from the Ryzen and RX 7700XT combo.
