Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a new gaming PC build since my old one is starting to fail. I want to make sure I get the best performance for gaming while also being able to do some Blender work and video editing. Here are my details:
- **Location**: Germany
- **Budget**: Around 3000€
- **Gaming Preferences**: I play Elden Ring, Path of Exile 2, WoW, and Guild Wars 2 at 1440p with a steady framerate.
- **Noise Level**: I wish for it to be as quiet as possible, within reason.
- **Storage Needs**: I need a case that can accommodate at least two 3.5" HDDs.
I've done some research and put together my parts list on PCPartPicker, which you can check out here: [PCPartPicker List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Vh47b2).
I'd really appreciate any feedback on the components and any suggestions you may have. Thanks a ton!

You might want to consider using 2x32GB RAM instead of 4x16GB. The performance could drop with four sticks on DDR5. Also, upgrading to faster RAM, like 6000MHz CL30, could benefit AMD builds more.
Also, check if an 850W PSU is necessary; you might be able to get away with something smaller. As for fans, I usually find Corsair RMX series to be better priced than BeQuiet products, except for their fans, which are great. Oh, and that case you picked is awesome but be prepared for it to take up more space than expected!
You could try going for a cheaper motherboard if you don’t need the X870 features. Plus, stick with 2x32GB RAM instead of four sticks for better performance. The Kingston NV3 SSD isn't the best option either; look for something faster. Oh, and if you’re doing video editing, NVIDIA cards like the 5070Ti are generally better. They’re not much more expensive and may offer better performance for your video tasks!
Thanks! Can you tell me more about why the NV3 isn’t great? And is the 5070Ti really better than the 9070XT for gaming, which I do primarily?
Thanks for the advice! I’m definitely taking the RAM recommendations to heart.
