Is My First PC Build Good Enough for 1440p Gaming?
Asked by

I'm gearing up to build my first PC primarily for gaming, with Monster Hunter Wilds being the most demanding title I plan to run. My goal is to hit 1440p at 60fps or better. Here's my part list, and I'd love to get some feedback on whether everything looks good! Check it out here: [PC Part Picker List](https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/XPXfb2).

If you can, see if you can grab a 5070 Ti for a similar price. The 9070 XT is a great choice, but the 5070 Ti might offer better value. Just a tip!

The CPU is definitely overpriced right now. Aside from that, everything looks pretty good. Just keep in mind you want to make sure your parts are balanced in terms of performance.

Looks solid overall! The CPU might be a bit on the pricey side, especially in Portugal, but the rest of the build seems fine. Just a thought, I'd swap out that SSD you picked for something like a Samsung or WD if your budget allows it; I had some issues with mine, although it hasn't completely failed so far.

You might want to consider switching the CPU for the latest 9800X3D. Your cooler looks like it will do just fine, especially with a slight negative PBO offset—should keep everything nice and cool.
CloudySky42: Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into the 9800X3D.

GamerDude99: Honestly, the 9070 XT is the better card. I don't think you need to worry about switching.
