Hey everyone! I'm working on building my first desktop computer since I'm currently using a laptop. My goal is to put together a solid setup that won't require upgrades for a few years. I've picked out some components, but I'm a bit unsure about their compatibility and overall suitability for what I need.
I plan to spend a maximum of $2505 and have a preference for NVIDIA and AMD products. My plan is to use two monitors that support QHD resolution (2560x1440) at 144 Hz, with a potential switch to 4K down the line. I'm also on the fence about whether to go with water cooling or air cooling.
Here's what I've selected so far:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **GPU**: Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY Ultra 16GB GDDR7 (What do you think about this one?)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
- **Cooling**: ENDORFY Navis F360 ARGB 3x120mm
- **PSU**: be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750W 80 Plus Gold
- **RAM**: Kingston FURY 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz CL40 Beast Black
- **SSD**: Lexar 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe NM790
- **Case**: ENDORFY Arx 700 ARGB
Would love your thoughts on whether these parts work well together or if I should consider changing anything! Thanks a bunch!

Check out these alternative builds; they offer great performance for a better price. This one is about $500 cheaper and only slightly slower: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8RMjKq.
I think your build is great! Just remember, if you're looking to save some cash, you might want to check out some alternative parts that could give you similar performance at a lower price.
You could shave some money off by looking at a different GPU or even a different case. Just make sure you're still getting the performance you want, though!
Thanks for the suggestions! I’m definitely looking into balancing the budget while keeping NVIDIA in the mix.
Appreciate the link! I'm focused on NVIDIA parts, but I'll consider your suggestions!
