I'm planning to build a gaming PC aimed at 1440p resolution, and I'm relatively new to this whole thing. I'd love to hear any feedback or thoughts before I finalize my build! You can check it out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DgHzDj. Thanks in advance for any help!

You might want to reconsider your PSU; it seems a bit underpowered for your build. Aim for around 80% load—ideally, at least get a PSU that’s about 750W, especially with a Ryzen 7700x. Always good to have some wiggle room for future upgrades!
If this is mainly for gaming, the 9600X would be just as effective at 1440p. Also, consider getting a more affordable thermalright phantom spirit cooler instead. And I found this RAM that’s cheaper: [Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4cCCmG/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-pvv532g600c30k).
Nice, thanks for the suggestions!
You're looking at a solid setup with the 7700x, 5070 Ti, and 32GB of RAM. Plus, 2TB of fast storage and an 850W power supply sounds great around the $1.49k mark! Here's a combo that I’d recommend for your CPU, motherboard, and cooler: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4818409&cm_sp=product-combooption
Hmm, PCPartPicker estimates 530W, so I thought 750W would be enough. But you're right, upgrading could give me more flexibility later. Thanks!
