I'm putting together a PC build with a budget of around $1400. Here's what I've got so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz (about $165)
- **CPU Cooler:** Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360L (about $121)
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B850 GAMING WIFI6 (around $156)
- **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 (around $155)
- **Storage:** Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVME SSD (about $160)
- **Video Card:** MSI VENTUS 2X OC GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB (around $490)
- **Case:** Corsair 3500X ATX Mid Tower (about $100)
- **Power Supply:** Corsair RM850e 850W (about $112)
This brings the total to approximately $1460.68. I'd love to hear your thoughts on any adjustments I should consider!

You might want to swap the liquid cooler for a good air cooler, or even a more budget-friendly AIO if aesthetics matter to you. Also, consider upgrading to CL30 RAM if it's not significantly pricier. If you don't need the speed of the Samsung SSD, look into something like the Teamgroup MP44L, which could save you some cash without sacrificing too much performance.
Do you think the CPU will perform well with just an air cooler? I'm curious about the differences in RAM performance and SSD options too. Thanks!
