After using an i7-8700 and GTX 1070TI for about 8 years, I'm ready for an upgrade. I've already ordered my new parts, and I want to make sure I've made good choices before they arrive. My main use will be gaming on a 1080p ultrawide monitor, but I plan to switch to a 1440p ultrawide in a couple of months. I'd appreciate any feedback, advice, or suggestions before it's too late to make changes! Check out my build here: [PC Partpicker list](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PVMJPJ)

M.2 SSDs are so affordable these days, it's usually better to avoid SATA SSDs if you can. They offer much faster speeds!
Yes, I think the PSU might be a bit overkill, but it’s good to have extra wattage if you plan to upgrade in the future. Your overall setup looks really good!
Plus, I use a higher wattage PSU just for that extra margin!
Overall, it's a good build! Just be aware that your CPU might hold you back a little, especially when you switch to 1440p. There could be a bottleneck, but you might not notice it in all games.
I think the CPU might be a bit underpowered for that GPU. I'd recommend considering the 9600X or 9700X for better performance, especially in high FPS games. But honestly, it should work fine for most titles!
Yeah, for most games, the Ryzen 5 7500F will do just fine; no need to stress over it.
Looks like a solid upper-mid range build! You'll be on AM5, which is great if you ever need a CPU upgrade for more demanding games. Definitely a good rig overall!
Your build looks pretty decent! Just keep in mind that different regions have different part availability. If you were in the US, I might suggest some other options, but I'm not sure what's best for your area.
850W is actually pretty standard for a 5070 Ti setup; shouldn’t be an issue at all.
