I'm planning to build a gaming PC in India with a budget of around ₹70,000–₹75,000 (about $750). My current parts list is a Zotac RTX 3070 Ti Trinity for ₹26,000, a Ryzen 5 5600X for ₹15,000, a Gigabyte B450 Aorus M motherboard for ₹3,000, a Gigabyte P750BS 750W 80+ Bronze non-modular PSU for ₹6,000, a Patriot Viper Elite 2 16GB (2×8GB) DDR4-3200 kit for ₹11,000, and a Lenovo LOQ 27-inch 1440p 180Hz IPS monitor for ₹14,000. I'm new to PC building and mainly want to use it for gaming. Does this combination make sense, and are there any parts I should change?

The overall performance balance looks good for 1440p gaming, but I wouldn’t cut corners on the power supply. A reputable 750W 80+ Gold model would be a better choice, especially with an RTX 3070 Ti. Also confirm that the B450 motherboard has a BIOS version compatible with the Ryzen 5 5600X before buying.
Try to buy the PSU from a well-known, reliable series rather than choosing based only on wattage or efficiency certification. A quality 750W Gold unit around ₹7,000 would be a worthwhile upgrade over the Bronze model and give you more confidence with this graphics card.
The memory price seems unusually high for a 16GB DDR4-3200 kit, so compare other brands and retailers. If your budget allows, 32GB would also be a more comfortable choice for newer games, though 16GB is still usable for now.
You could move to a 1080p monitor and put the savings toward an RTX 3080, but that isn’t necessary for this build. The RTX 3070 Ti is already a strong match for 1440p, and a 27-inch 1440p 180Hz display should provide a sharper image than 1080p at that size.
I was wondering whether an RTX 3080 would be excessive for 1080p gaming. It sounds like keeping the 1440p monitor and using the 3070 Ti is the more sensible option.
Would an MSI MAG A750GN PCIe 5, ATX 3.1, 750W 80+ Gold non-modular PSU be a suitable replacement? It costs about ₹7,000.
