I'm putting together a PC build and I'm wondering if it's good for gaming at 1440p, particularly for non-AAA titles, as well as for productivity tasks like Blender. I'm curious if the RTX 5070 is overkill for my needs at that resolution, and if I should just go with the 5060 Ti 8GB which is about 200 euros cheaper. I'm not considering AMD because I believe they focus more on raw gaming performance, while Intel and Nvidia offer a better balance for production work. Here's my build:
- **CPU**: Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF 4.2 GHz 14-Core Processor - €166.90
- **CPU Cooler**: be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 - €52.90
- **Thermal Compound**: ARCTIC MX-6 - €7.16
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B860M EAGLE V2 Micro ATX - €125.90
- **Memory**: GOODRAM IRDM 32 GB DDR5-6000 - €375.00
- **Storage**: Western Digital WD_BLACK SN7100 1 TB NVME - €102.83
- **Video Card**: Gigabyte EAGLE OC SFF GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB - €629.00
- **Case**: GameMax Vista A ATX Mid Tower - €60.95
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750GL 750 W - €84.90
**Total**: €1605.54
I'd love to hear your thoughts on if this setup is overboard for what I'm doing!

Your build looks solid, especially for what you plan to do! While I think AMD can also be great for productivity, Intel has its perks too, especially with multicore tasks. Just a heads-up though, if you’re set on that 5070, it should handle 1440p like a champ!
