If you're looking to save some cash, consider upgrading your motherboard and chipset if your budget allows. Here's a link to a suggested setup: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/98Lsfd. It could really enhance your performance!
Your build looks solid! I'd suggest replacing the 7900 GRE with the 9070 XT for better performance. It might be worth the extra bucks in the long run for 1440p gaming.
Could I save some cash and go for a Ryzen 5 7600X with the 9070 XT instead?
I was actually eyeing the 7700 XT but thought I'd stretch my budget a bit more for the 7900 GRE. What do you think? Is the upgrade worth it?
Overall, it looks good! Just a heads-up, a 1000 watt PSU might be overkill, and a 1TB SSD can fill up quickly with modern games. Make sure you manage your library!
I currently store my Steam library on a hard drive. Planning to start with that. Is it a bad idea?
I’m really keen on the back connect mobo with the Corsair case. Is it just style over functionality? What would improve on the B650?
