Hey everyone! I'm in the process of completing a gaming PC build and need your input. My budget is around £1600 total (including a monitor), as I already have a keyboard and mouse. I want to play games like The Last of Us 1 & 2, Monster Hunter, and the latest Doom at 1440p, so I'm looking for options that will last a while. So far, I've spent just under £500 and I'm currently stuck on picking a monitor, SSD, and graphics card. I'm considering the Montech King 95 Pro case but it's a bit pricey, so I'm open to alternative suggestions. I need a 2TB SSD for boot and storage and plan to add more later. For the monitor, I've narrowed it down to the Gigabyte M27Q (£180) or the AOC Q27G3XMN (£300), but I'm open to more options. Regarding the GPU, I've been looking at the 5070 for £495, the 5070 Ti for £729, or the 9070 XT for £660. I don't have loyalty to either AMD or Nvidia, but I know the 5070 might not last as long, so I'm trying to get the best combo. Let me know your thoughts!

It’s unfortunate you already grabbed the Ryzen 7, as it might not balance well with the 5070 Ti or 9070 XT. As for monitors, I have the M32Q and really like it, so I would recommend the Gigabyte for sure.
If the King 95 Pro matches your style and features, definitely pair it with the 9070 XT. But if you want to save a bit, consider a more standard airflow case with the 5070 Ti; a case with 4 fans and a hub could save some cash. Check out this link for an example.
Which one would you personally pick?
