Hey folks! I'd love to hear your thoughts on my new gaming PC setup that I've been working on. After receiving some great feedback on my previous build, I adjusted the configuration to strike a better balance for 4K gaming. Here's what I've got now:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 5.5 GHz)
- GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition (16GB DDR7)
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming Wi-Fi
- PSU: NZXT C1200 ATX 3.1 80+ Gold, 1200W, Fully Modular
- Primary SSD: Samsung 1TB 9100 Pro Gen 5.0 NVMe (14,700 MB/s)
- Secondary SSD: Samsung 1TB 990 EVO Plus Gen 4.0 NVMe (7,150 MB/s)
- RAM: Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 MHz CL36
- Cooler: NZXT Kraken 360 RGB with LCD Display (White)
- Case: NZXT H9 Flow RGB Plus 2025 Edition (White)
- OS: Windows 11 Professional 64-bit (FPP with USB)
The total cost comes to ₹2,99,810, which includes all taxes. Given this setup, do you think it's a good deal?

Just a heads up! Even the high-end RTX 5090 can struggle with some games at ultra settings, so aim for the best GPU you can afford if you want to future-proof your build.
Yeah, the 12GB on the 5070 could really hinder your experience at 4K. If you're planning on playing graphically intensive games, you may want to look into better options.
For 4K gaming, this build feels a bit off balance. You're spending a lot on the CPU but might not fully utilize it with the GPU. Upgrading the graphics card should be a priority. Target a card that fits your budget, ideally aiming for around 1.5 lakhs for the GPU, which will make a big difference.
The 9950X3D can match the 9800X3D in gaming performance, but it's pricier. If your budget is tight, stick to the 5070 Ti or even a 9070XT. And definitely amp up your boot SSD to 2TB; Gen4 is fast enough.
You might want to consider a stronger GPU than the 5070 Ti for 4K gaming. It's a decent card, but might struggle with high settings depending on the titles you're playing.
