I'm putting together a PC for gaming at 1440p and I want to make sure it's a solid choice. My budget is €1900, and I'm aiming for a setup that can handle anything thrown at it for the next 6 or 7 years. Prices in Spain are a bit crazy, so I'm hoping to get some feedback before Black Friday. Here's what I've chosen so far:
|**Component**|**Selection**|Price (ac)|
|:-|:-|:-|
|CPU|AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D|374,90€|
|GPU|ASUS PRIME AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB GDDR6 FSR 4|629,90€|
|Motherboard|ASUS TUF GAMING B650E-PLUS WIFI PCIe 5.0|199,99€|
|RAM|Kingston 32GB 2x16GB DDR5 6000MT/s FURY Beast|189,95€|
|SSD|Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Gen4|169,94€|
|PSU|ASUS TUF Gaming 850W ATX3.1 80 Plus Gold Modular|139,90€|
|Case|Corsair 3000D AIRFLOW Black|79,90€|
|Cooler|Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU Cooler|100,95€|
Total: €1,885.43
Does this build seem solid for long-term gaming? Is there anything I should consider swapping for better value or future-proofing? I'm uncertain about whether to choose an Nvidia or AMD GPU, and I'm also wondering if I need additional fans for the case.

The GPU you picked is actually a solid choice for 1440p in terms of price and performance. You'll get great visuals and smooth gameplay with that card!
I think you could save some cash by choosing better value components while still keeping quality in mind for future upgrades. If you’re only shopping at this store, that’s fine, but shopping around could offer you more options. Here's a configuration I put together that might save you around €250: [link].
Is the GPU you recommended a good choice? And should I be getting extra fans for the case?
