I'm putting together a custom PC build with the following specs and I'm wondering if everything will work well together and if there are any potential issues. Here's what I have:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (8 cores/16 threads, 3.8-4.7 GHz)
- **CPU Cooler**: DeepCool AG400 Air Cooler
- **Motherboard**: ASUS Prime B550M-K
- **RAM**: 32 GB DDR4-3200
- **GPU**: NVIDIA RTX 5070 12 GB
- **Storage**: 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD
- **PSU**: 700W Bronze
- **Case**: 1stPlayer Trilobite T3-MAXT
- **OS**: Windows 11
My budget is around £1300, so is this configuration fine?

Overall, this build looks good! The RTX 5070 is a great choice, but you might wanna keep an eye on that GPU utilization with the 5800X. Some people have seen it stretch a bit with the 5700X, but if the price is right, you should be fine for most games at 1440p. Just make sure to check for the best price on the components!
That’s right! This setup should cap out at 144 Hz in most games as well. You'd be able to run everything on ultra without any problems!
You meant the 5800X, right? For 1440p, I've had mine keep up nicely with a 5070ti in almost every game, getting solid GPU usage overall.
