I'm putting together my first gaming PC and I'd appreciate any advice! I want it to perform well at 1440p and look good, too. I'm also considering future-proofing the components. Just a heads up, I've already got my storage sorted, so it's not included in my parts list.

Your build looks solid! I can't say anything negative about it. You've got a great foundation there! 😊
Overall, your setup seems really well-rounded! Just a thought, you might want to invest less in fans and cooling for now and put that money towards a higher-tier graphics card like the 9070XT. While looks matter, especially for your build, balancing performance and appearance might save you money in the long run. Either way, it's going to look fantastic!
I understand, I’m not after overkill—I just want a smoother gaming experience than what my current RX570 gives. I’ll definitely check out the 9070XT!
Dropping $2,500 CAD on a 60 series GPU is quite a chunk! If you're aiming for aesthetics, consider cheaper fan options. You could save around $300, which might let you upgrade to a 9070XT. Here's a potential build: [link].
I’m okay with spending $3300 (including taxes) for the same parts but upgraded to the 9070XT. Is that a wise choice?
Thanks! As a first-time builder, it’s nice to hear that!
